Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Heat oil in a wide saucepan and soften onion for 5 minutes. Add curry and ginger for 30 seconds, then tomatoes, coconut milk and salt. Simmer 5 minutes.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Cut cod into large pieces and nestle into the sauce. Cover and simmer gently for 7–10 minutes, until the fish reaches 63°C / 145°F.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Tuck spinach into the sauce around the fish. Cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted and serve with bread or a separately prepared grain.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer and move the pan instead of stirring the fish vigorously.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
