Quick Goan Fish Curry

This is a brilliant week day Keto dinner, you get a meal with so much flavour and it takes all of 15 minutes. I like to use white fish like cod and haddock for this, as it only needs minutes to cook. If you’re not a fan of fish some grilled chicken would make a great substitute.

What’s great here is the richness of coconut milk with the delicate flesh of the fish. I’ve kept the ingredients list to a minimum to speed up the prep here, especially the spices. I use Garam Masala powder in this which is a common spice blend from India rather than assembling a dozen or so different spices myself.

Blitzing the ingredients in a blender before frying really cuts down the prep time. Done like that I can get this meal prepped and on the table in about 12 minutes!

I’ll often eat a dish like this on it’s own if i’m feeling lazy but some quick cauliflower rice goes great with this.

  1. This looks like a great recipe! I was wondering what kind of green chili you used – I live in the Central Valley of California and we have so many varieties. Is it like a jalapeno or a more mild chili?

    • Hi Becca, thanks for checking out our recipe!

      I’m in the UK using standard green chilis (we don’t get the great variety you get over there, I’m jealous!)

      I’d say it’s a medium hot, closer to Jalapeno than a mild chili, I like there to be a bit of a kick!
