Mustard Oil

Fish Curry is a classic Indian dish made with marinated fish cooked in a spicy, aromatic gravy. Prepared using King’s Pure Mustard Oil, this curry delivers bold flavours, a rich texture, and an authentic coastal-style taste.

What Makes This Recipe Special

This recipe combines the sharp flavour of mustard oil with aromatic spices to create a deeply satisfying curry. King’s Pure Mustard Oil enhances the taste of fish and gives the dish its signature pungent and authentic character.

Flavor and Cooking Method

Fish Curry has a spicy, tangy, and slightly smoky flavour. The fish is marinated with spices and then simmered in a rich masala gravy, allowing it to absorb all the flavours while remaining tender. 

Follow these simple steps to prepare this recipe with balanced flavor and texture.

1: Marinate the Fish

  • Take fresh fish pieces and clean them properly.  

  • Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder.  

  • Squeeze a little lemon juice for freshness and tang.  

  • Add a small amount of King’s Pure Mustard Oil for flavour.  

  • Mix everything well so the fish is evenly coated.  

  • Let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes.

  • Cook until the oil begins to separate from the masala.

5: Cook the Fish

  • Add water to adjust the gravy consistency.  

  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.  

  • Carefully add the marinated fish pieces into the gravy.
