What you need
The easy way
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; sauté onion until soft, then add garlic, curry powder, and turmeric for 30 seconds.
- Pour in coconut milk and broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and season with salt.
- Add fish chunks to the simmering liquid; reduce heat to low and cover, cooking for 8-10 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Do not stir vigorously after adding fish to prevent breaking; serve hot over steamed rice.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
Use your senses. Times are guardrails. Look for the color, texture, and doneness cues in the steps, and refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly.
