Easy Fish Curry (sour)

You don't need hours to throw together a tasty 'authentic' fish curry ...and with minimal ingredients ! This curry tastes so delectable you will not believe it is so simple and fast - ready in 20 minutes despite the fish filets were frozen. 
It is also a healthy one-pot dish with vegetables of your choice - I used cauliflower.  

INGREDIENTS:
2 onions (coarse chopped/sliced)
2-3 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
A handful cauliflower florets
3-4 pcs fish filet (frozen)
3-4 tomatoes (quartered)
1 heap tablespoon Garam Masala
Sugar and salt
1 heap tablespoon Tamarind pulp (dissolved in 200ml water)

1. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat.  Add onions, fry till soft.
2. Add the masala, stir for 2-3 minutes until you smell the aroma of spices.
3. Add the tomatoes, garlic,  cauliflower and then tamarind juice, cook for 5 minutes at high heat.
4. Reduce heat down to medium, place frozen fish filets on top, cover and simmer another 5-8 minutes.
5. Continue simmering and add salt and sugar to your taste.  A little lemon juice if you like it more sour.
6. Spoon the fish curry into a serving bowl.  Sprinkle/garnish with coriander or mint leaves.
7. Serve with rice, naan bread or chapati.  Enjoy !

Note: Fish filet is generally added almost at end of the cooking process so it doesn't fall apart in the pan.  

Curry Fried Rice with gherkins

Fried rice is usually flavoured with soy sauce or salt.   Some even with ketchup.
Here is my version with 'odds and ends' like some pickled gherkins, some mince meat and curry powder.  The curry powder in this instance is not spicy as it's a european adapted mixture.  It has high percentage of kukurma and has hardly any bite of spicyness but it gives the rice a happy yellow tinge. Even  suitable for young children.  
It is simple yet addictive.
