Curried Cod Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place onion in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring often, 15 minutes, or until soft and brown.
• 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. If you like, the sauce may be set aside for a few hours at this point to allow the flavors to blend.
• Return the sauce to a boil, and place cod in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, and cook 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are softened; a little browning is okay. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and bay leaves and stir until the vegetables become pasty and coated with the spices. Add the stock and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the curry broth for 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear the cod pieces until one side is crispy. Pour 2 cups of the curry broth into the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until the fish is cooked through.
• Measure the remaining curry broth in a liquid measure and add enough water to come to 3 cups. Pour the liquid into a saucepan and add the rice and raisins. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
• To serve, make a bed of rice in a soup plate, set a piece of fish on top, and spoon in some of the broth.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Brush oil over 1 side of fillets; gently press into crumb mixture., Place crumb side up in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° just until fish begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the spices. Coat the fish with half the spice mixture and some seasoning. Set aside.
• In a medium lidded frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and fry for 8 mins until softened. Add the remaining spice mix and gently cook for 1 min to release the flavour of the spices.
• Pour in the coconut milk, bring to the boil and simmer for 3-5 mins to reduce slightly, then add the cod and spinach. Pop the lid on and continue to cook for 5 mins or so until the spinach has wilted and the cod is cooked through. Season to taste and serve with basmati rice and naan bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the cauliflower in a large, shallow roasting tin with the cumin seeds, turmeric, some seasoning and half the oil until the cauliflower is coated and bright yellow. Roast for 15 mins, tossing a few times, until starting to char.
• Meanwhile, peel the garlic, then put in a small food processor with the ginger, half the red chilli, the curry powder and some seasoning. Blitz to a paste. Stir the chickpeas, half the spice paste and most of the remaining oil through the cauliflower. Roast for 20 mins more, stirring once or twice.
• While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, mix the softened butter with the rest of the spice paste, and spread half all over the fish. When the cauliflower and chickpeas are ready, remove the pan from the oven and make four gaps in the mixture. Nestle the fish in the gaps, and dot all but 1 tbsp of the remaining spiced butter over the veg. Roast for 10-15 mins more.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over a high heat until very hot, then cook the spinach for 3-4 mins until wilted. Add the reserved 1 tbsp spiced butter and continue to cook for 1-2 mins more. Set aside until the fish is just cooked through, then sprinkle the coriander, garam masala and remaining red chilli over the traybake. Serve the traybake in the middle of the table with the spinach in a bowl alongside for everyone to help themselves.

Steps:

• Boil the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, tip the sweetcorn into a bowl with the ginger and garlic, and blitz with a hand blender until smooth and creamy.
• Put the mustard seeds in a large pan and warm briefly over a low heat until they start to pop. Tip in the garam masala and sweetcorn mixture, and mix with 350ml boiling water, the bouillon, chilli (if using) and cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to medium. Add the beans and tomatoes, then cover the pan and cook for 6 mins.
• Add the spinach and stir until beginning to wilt, then top with the fish, spoon over some sauce or gently push it under, then cover and cook 5-8 mins more until the fish is just cooked.
• Carefully lift the fish from the pan and stir the coconut yogurt and coriander into the curry. Serve with the rice and extra coriander scattered over.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the corn cobs in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 10 mins. Drain and leave to cool slightly. Stand the cobs upright on a board and slice the kernels off using a sharp knife in a downward motion along the length of the cob.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until golden and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, ground coriander, chilli and turmeric, and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the coconut milk and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. Arrange the cod fillets in a large roasting tin or casserole, then pour the spiced coconut and tomato mixture around the fish. Add the corn and prawns, and bake for 18-20 mins. Scatter with with fresh coriander and chillies and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
