Thai Seabass Curry

Posted 2015-07-06 by SophiesNotinKansasfollow
This wonderfully fresh Thai seabass curry is made by creating a home-made curry paste from scratch using typical herbs and spices, such as fresh lemongrass and chilli. The paste forms the basis of other Thai recipes, but this light and fragrant fish curry is the perfect tasty, healthy supper for a summer evening.

Preparation Time: 50 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
2 tsp galangal
2cm chunk of fresh ginger, chopped finely
5 fresh kaffir lime leaves, chopped finely
4 shoots of lemongrass, chopped finely
3 fresh chillies, finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
5 shallots chopped finely
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tin of coconut cream
4 fresh seabass fillets
A few fresh basil leaves, to garnish
More fresh lemongrass shoots to garnish

Method
  • Firstly, make the curry paste by pounding the chilli, coriander seeds and cumin using a pestle and mortar
  • Add a little salt to the mixture
  • Add the galangal and continue to pound
  • Add the garlic and the lemongrass, and keep pounding
  • Add the kafir lime leaves and pound until the whole mixture is crushed enough to form a paste



  • As the paste begins to form, you should be able to smell the aromatic flavours
  • Next, gently heat the oil in a large frying pan
  • Add half of the curry paste mixture, stirring into the oil



  • After a minute or two, add half a tin of coconut cream and stir into the paste
  • Add the rest of the tin of coconut cream, along with a cup of warm water, and stir
  • Sprinkle over half a vegetable stock cube, and stir
  • Very carefully lay the fish on top of the curry, flesh down, skin up, and spoon over a few tbsp hot water onto the skin of the fish to ensure that it cooks



  • Gently cook the curry until the fish is cooked, but not overcooked (approx 15 mins)
  • Garnish with fresh lemongrass shoots and fresh basil leaves
  • Serve with jasmine rice
