Notes
- Use white or yellow onion to make cod curry as red onion has a distinct flavor that might affect the rest of the dish.
- To make fish curry, please use fresh tomatoes as they have less juice than canned tomatoes. We don't want our curry to be too watery.
- You can use fresh or frozen Alaska cod for this coconut fish curry recipe. If using frozen cod, thaw it first as directed on the package.
- Cut the cod into 1 1/2 inch pieces before adding to the curry. Bite sized cod is easier to eat and cooks faster.
- I always use fresh ginger and grate it right into the pan using a small grater without peeling it. Fresh ginger gives a nice kick to the dish so don't leave it out.
