Chatelaine Triple Tested

Rich, medium-spicy curry so well rounded and delicious we could eat it every day.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp canola oil

  • 454 g halibut, skin removed, sliced (with the grain) 1/2 in. thick

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 serrano chilies, seeded and thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tomato, chopped

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 6 or 7 fresh curry leaves

  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tsp oil. Season halibut with 1/4 tsp salt and cook until golden, 2 min per side. Transfer to plate.

  • ADD remaining 1 tsp oil and onion to pan. Cook until golden, about 2 min. Add peppers and spices. Stir until onion is well coated. Add tomato and stir often until almost soft, 2 min. Add vinegar, curry leaves and coconut milk. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 5 min. Season with remaining salt.

  • RETURN halibut and any juices to sauce and continue cooking until heated through, 2 more min. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice.
