Cod Curry Recipe
Cod curry features a tomato-based sauce that can be easily modified for heat level depending on the quantity of spices and number of jalapeño peppers used. This adaptable fish curry allows you to customize the spiciness to suit different family members' preferences while maintaining authentic flavors. The mild, flaky nature of cod makes it perfect for curry preparations as it absorbs the aromatic sauce beautifully. This flexible recipe demonstrates how traditional Indian curry techniques can be applied to different types of fish. The tomato base provides rich color and tangy flavor that complements the delicate fish perfectly.

This tomato based curry may be modified for hotness depending on quantity of spices and number of jalapeno peppers used. It is a great favourite with my family – I make it about once a month.

Mix the garlic paste and ginger paste into the skillet. Cook 1 minute. Mix in cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, and salt. Stir in the jalapeno, cilantro, lemon juice, and tomatoes with juice, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
