Tangy, aromatic and gently spiced – this cod curry with tamarind and curry leaves is a dish that brightens the table and lifts the senses.

Cod curry with tamarind and curry leaves

Typically described as:

Cod is a brilliant fish for curries – it’s meaty, flakes beautifully, and soaks up flavour without falling apart. This recipe marries the sour tang of tamarind with the earthiness of Greenfields curry leaves, balanced with warming spices for a comforting yet vibrant dish. Serve it with fluffy rice or warm flatbreads, and you’ve got a meal that feels both homely and a little bit exotic.

Serves 4

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 25 minutes
Total: 40 minutes

  • 600g cod fillets, cut into large chunks

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, finely sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 thumb-sized piece ginger, grated

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Ground Coriander

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Ground Cumin

  • ½ tsp Greenfields Turmeric Powder

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Chilli Powder (adjust to taste)

  • 10 Greenfields Curry Leaves

  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • 200ml coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp tamarind paste (adjust for tanginess)

  • 150ml hot water

  • Sea salt (to taste)

  • Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

  • Heat the oil in a deep pan and sauté the onion until soft and golden.

  • Add the garlic, ginger and curry leaves, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Stir in the coriander, cumin, turmeric and chilli powder, letting the spices bloom in the oil.

  • Add the tomatoes and cook until they break down into a sauce.

  • Mix in the tamarind paste and hot water, then simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Pour in the coconut milk, season lightly, and let the sauce simmer gently.

  • Add the cod pieces, spooning the sauce over. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

  • Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbreads.

Don’t stir too much once the fish is in – cod is delicate and will break if over-handled. For extra depth, add a pinch of Greenfields Fenugreek Seeds when frying the onions. If you like more heat, finish with a sprinkle of Greenfields Crushed Chillies.
