Ingredients
  

For the Curry
  • 1 can Coconut Milk Provides creaminess and richness; substitute with dairy-free milk or light coconut milk for a lighter variation.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Adds tanginess and brightness; substitute with lemon juice if desired.
  • 600 grams Fish (e.g., cod, tilapia) The protein base; firm white fish or tofu can be used for a vegetarian option.
For the Rice
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice The perfect side; substitute with basmati rice or quinoa for a different texture.
For Garnish
  • 0.25 cup Cilantro Fresh herb for garnish; omit if unavailable or use parsley as a substitute.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, combine 1 can of coconut milk and the juice of 2 limes over medium heat. Stir well until fully blended, allowing to warm for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to simmer gently.
  2. Carefully add your choice of fish to the skillet. Let the fish cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Lower the heat and allow the curry to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, gently stirring as the sauce thickens.
  4. While the curry simmers, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, combine the rice with 1.5 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover, cooking for about 15 minutes.
  5. Once both curry and rice are ready, fluff the rice with a fork, divide it among serving bowls, ladle curry generously over the rice, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
