Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used coconut)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cardamon pods, crushed
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons korma curry paste (I used Pataks brand)
  • 1/2 cup water, chicken or fish stock
  • 1 can coconut milk, unsweetened
  • 5 tablespoons ground almonds
  • 2 pounds firm white fish cut into portions (I used the frozen 2 pound bag from Aldi, thawed)
  • 1/2 pound frozen spinach, thawed and well squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala

How To Make betty's fish and spinach creamy korma

  • Step 1
    In a heavy-based pan, heat the oil and fry the sliced onions for about 5 minutes (until soft and translucent - you want no crunch in them).
  • Step 2
    Add the garlic, ginger, cardamon, and cinnamon. Fry for 1 minute. Add the korma paste and fry for a further minute (it will become fragrant and the oils will release, becoming visible).
  • Step 3
    Add the coconut milk, sugar, water or stock, and ground almonds. Stir well to incorporate. Add in the fish and spinach, reduce heat to medium/low. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes until the fish is cooked.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle over the Garam Masala and carefully stir through. Cook for another minute or so. Remove from the heat, serve over rice, and with your choice of sides.
