Preparing the Fish Curry

To begin, prepare the fish by marinating it with salt, pepper, and turmeric powder for 5 minutes. This step is crucial to bring out the flavors of the dish.

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned, then add the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant. Next, add the paprika and immediately add the marinated fish, searing it for a few minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes and liquid stock, and cook for 5 minutes.

Finishing Touches

Lower the heat and add the fish sauce, coriander stems, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Finally, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.
