A well cooked curry speaks volumes in flavor & for any curry, taste is what it is all about. Most of the times, curry making is thought of as a time consuming activity, something one might not consider for a busy weeknight dinner. But I would like to invite you all to try this simple recipe which takes little preparation, tastes fantastic & beats any other ‘elaborated’ curry dish cooked for hours.
There are more good news. Keeping this curry as a base, you can infuse other ingredients like tofu, peas, corn, mushrooms, shrimp, paneer, or potatoes to make a different curry. And did I mention that this dish is really ready in 30 minutes?
For the fish, I’ve tried Salmon, Mahi Mahi & Tilapia. I have found that the thinner the better. So the best choice turned out to be Tilapia, though the other two are good runners up too.

Cooking Suggestions
You may substitute the nuts with 1/3 cup sour cream or plain yogurt. But add them in the end.
Try using fresh ginger & garlic pastes for better flavoring.
You may add less or more water depending on the consistency you want for the curry.
