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.

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!
