Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the fish fillet into chunks. Slice the onion thinly, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and tear the dried chili, setting each aside separately.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard seed and torn dried chili, cooking 30 seconds until the seeds pop and the chili darkens.
3
Add the onion, garlic, ginger and curry leaves, cooking over medium heat 4 minutes until the onion softens and turns translucent.
4
Stir in the turmeric and chili powder, cooking 30 seconds over medium-low heat until the raw smell fades and spices coat the ingredients evenly.
5
Pour in the coconut milk, tamarind paste and 1/4 cup water with salt. Simmer 5 minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly and turns pale orange.
6
Lower the fish chunks into the simmering curry and cover. Cook 6 minutes over medium-low heat until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily.

Plate
Spoon the rice into a bowl and ladle the fish curry over the top. Finish with cilantro and serve hot.
