Keralan Inspired Fish Curry

I had bought this ready meal, No.1 Keralan Inspired Fish Curry from Waitrose which was 20% off.

Our No.1 Keralan Inspired Fish Curry is our take on a favourite dish from the coastal state of Kerala, in the south west of India. Succulent hake fillet is marinated and roasted, and served in a creamy coconut, onion and tomato sauce, spiced with chilli and mustard seeds. It’s finished with fresh coriander and sliced red chillies.

I cooked it in the oven and served it with some basmati rice. It was rather good and I enjoyed it. The fish was nice, and I enjoyed the curry sauce that it was served with. There was heat in the dish, but not excessively so. I certainly would have this again.

I was intrigued by this ready meal as I do quite like a fish curry. I had enjoyed the Tawa Fish from Nadu, was simply a seasonal fish grilled in bell pepper & ginger sauce. Likewise the fish curry I had at the Hen & Chickens in Birmingham last year was also a dish I equally enjoyed. The Goan Monkfish Curry from Dishoom in Birmingham was also very tasty. 

I think it was these three experiences that made me want to try the fish curry from Waitrose. I should really try and cook my own fish curry in the future.
