The most delicious, flavourful and spicy fish karahi! Guaranteed that this will be the best fish karahi recipe you will ever need! ;)
INGREDIENTS
500gm fish fillet of your choice, cut into pieces
Marinate the fish for at least 2 hours in a paste made from some salt, red chili powder, drop of garlic paste and juice of 1 lemon.
More Ingredients
2 onions, chopped fine
4 tomatoes, chopped
3 tbsp. yoghurt, whipped
3 green chilies, chopped
1 tsp. garlic paste
1 tsp. ginger paste
salt to taste
1 tbsp. roasted whole coriander seeds, then crushed roughly
1 tsp. roasted whole cumin seeds, crushed
2 tsp. red chili powder, adjust to taste
juice of half a lemon
some chopped coriander leaves
½ tsp. garam masala
Oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat some oil and fry the fish pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side in batches, just to seal them up. Remove and set aside.
In a separate pan, add quarter cup of oil, fry the onions until almost golden, then add the ginger and garlic pastes and the crushed cumin and coriander. Fry for a few seconds then add the chopped tomatoes and cook on medium heat until the tomatoes are cooked and thick and the oil comes out from the sides. Add the whipped yoghurt and red chili powder. Cook for a couple of minutes until the yoghurt is well-blended with the tomatoes, and then add the fish pieces and the green chilis. Stir once, add the salt, lower the heat to very low, cover the pan tightly and let the fish cook for about 10 minutes.
Open the pan, mix the fish gently to avoid breaking the pieces, then sprinkle the coriander leaves, garam masala and squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Simmer for a few seconds, then turn off the heat and serve hot! :)

Asalam aleikum. can i serve with naan?
W/salaam, yes you can.
i did cook with nan and rrice was WOW. many praises from my visitors. i told them all thanks to u. Allah barik
Hi, what would be the effect of using less oil (compared to a quarter cup)? Just want to ensure it doesn't drastically alter the outcome.
The oil helps fry up the ingredients to give an excellent flavour and result, excess can later be drained off before serving.
Assalamu alaikum, can i use fish masala instead of garam masala????
W/Salaam, fish masala has a different flavour from garam masala. You can try and see how it turns out.
Asa. How do I marinade with frozen fish fillets? You have to cook this fish from frozen.. JazakAllah khayr x
Allow the fish to come to room temperature before marinating and cooking.
ASA can you plz tell which fish do u use and do u buy frozen or fresh..?? Which fish taste more better.. Thank u
I always prefer fresh.
asak...pls can u tell me which fish works best for this recipe?
W/Salaam, any clean white boneless fish like king fish or parrot fish or red snapper.
I tried with tilapia but it was hard to handle, it broke. Please suggest a fish that will taste perfect. Want boneless fish since I have kids
Please refer to previous comments.
