Healthy Seafood Curry Recipes

Steps:

• For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
• Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

Steps:

• Mix together 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, then coat the prawns and cod in the mixture. Set aside.
• Peel and chop the onion, chop the spring onions, mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
• Heat the ghee in frying pan, then add in the onion, spring onion, garlic and ginger and another ½ teaspoon of each of the spices. Leave to fry over a medium heat until the onion has softened.
• Pour the can of coconut milk into the frying pan along with the almond butter and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave for 5 minutes.
• Place the fish, prawns and spinach into the pan and place a lid on the pan. Leave to cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring regularly to break up the cod fillets.
• Serve with fresh parsley to garnish and your choice of side dishes. We've gone for brown rice.
