Quirky Curry - An Original Recipe By Miss Q Quirky

This recipe is suitable for a single person or those who has little time. It tastes good especially if eaten with nan bread or other type of bread. I sort of created it recently during one of those days when I just don't know what to eat but were hungry. Blogger Anne would definately relate to this "the feeling of hunger yet not knowing what to eat".

Ingredients
1 packet maggie fish curry paste
2 frozen fish fillet (Dory fish) cut into smaller pieces of 1.5 - 2 cm per piece
4 tbs of marigold lowfat blueberry yoghurt (alternatively mixed berries or mango yoghurt)
Capsicum
1 carrot sliced
1 large onion quartered
2 shallots sliced thinly
2 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
5 large fresh tomatoes chopped
Aromatics - Corriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardomon seeds, star-aniseed and cinnamon bark
2 tbs lemon juice

Method

• PREPARING THE FISH
• Marinate the fish with a little bit of the maggie curry paste, cumin powder, tumiric powder, salt and pepper.
• Fry it using only a little bit of oil abot half a minute for each side. (The fish is fried so that it will retain its shape when cooked with the curry sauce)
• Put aside

• PREPARING THE CURRY SAUCE
• Heat 5 tbs oil in a thick based pan
• Put in the slice onion and garlic and the aromatics. Saute until the onion and garlic are soft
• Put in the rest of the curry paste and 1 cup of water
• Put in the already fried fish and the carrots, capsucum and quartered onion
• Add in the yoghurt (the yoghurt will add a little sweetness to the curry) and chopped tomatoes
• Add another 1 cup of water and the lemon juice
• Add salt to taste
• Simmer in slow heat until the sauce is thick

There you go. Have a try and post your comments. See how you like it. Goodluck and happy trying

Note:

• You could do a siwtch up by turning this into a vegetarian curry
• If you want the curry to be more spicy, add paprika or chilli powder
• If it is difficult for you to find the meggie curry paste you can use curry powder as well. Just make sure you add some water before using to turn it into a paste
