Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Lime Fish Curry
- Start by rinsing 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice with 2 cups of water or fish stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 1-inch grated ginger, and 1-2 slit green chilies into the sautéed onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon each of ground turmeric, ground cumin, and coriander powder to the pan, stirring to coat the onion mixture and toast the spices for about 1 minute.
- Pour in 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce (or soy sauce) along with the juice and zest of 1 lime. Stir and allow the curry to simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- Nestle 1 pound of white fish fillets into the sauce. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Garnish your Coconut Lime Fish Curry with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and serve it over the cooked jasmine rice, with lime wedges on the side.
