Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Start by cutting your chosen fish into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in the diced bell peppers and any other vegetables you're using. Sauté for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Incorporate the Spices: Stir in the curry powder, allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute.
- Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the Fish: Gently add the fish pieces into the simmering coconut sauce. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- Add Greens: In the last few minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt.
- Finish and Serve: Taste your curry and adjust seasoning with salt or more curry powder if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside steamed rice or crusty bread.
