Pesto Fish Stew Fry the onion and garlic until soft, then add the tomatoes and stock along with 2 tbsp red pesto. Bring to a simmer and cook the fish as left, throwing in a handful torn basil leaves just before serving with crusty French bread.

Milder?

If you prefer your food a little milder, a less spicy curry paste, such as Korma, will work as well.

    Delicious! I used Pataks Balti paste as that what I had in and also forgot to add the veg stock and was perfect without so prob will skip that next time too. Found I had to cook fish for longer than 4 mins but that may be my personal taste. Never had fish in curry before but will have this again, yum yum!!

    Really nice, simmered the sauce for 20 mins, and did not add the stock, used a half a bag of fruits de mer and a small piece of haddock.

    I've done this many, many times, due to the fact that it's so quick! I've had it with the frozen Basics white fish (defrosted first), many times, and because the sauce absorbs the flavours, it still tastes good. The last time I had it was with haddock from the fish counter, and wow! It's bad because I've now been converted to more expensive fish! This recipe is highly recommended!

    Lovely- my 7 yr old curry hater loved it. Of course I didn't tell him it was curry until he was nearly finished eating ;) I used Patak's Biriyani paste and mahi-mahi fish (almost like tuna)

    A green pepper is a good addition and we use Coley which is lower cost and just as good as Cod (just a slightly grey colour).

    Although I can make my own curry paste I usually have a jar of Pataks in the cupboard as well. I used the Pataks Madras paste and followed the recipe but used cod loin instead of fillet. It is simple and delicious, however I would suggest leaving the sauce cooking for a little longer to thicken before adding the fish.

    My family absolutely loved this. We used plenty of curry paste and only used coley, instead of cod. Even so, my 2 year old gobbled the lot up two days in a row. A big hit!

    This was lovely and very quick to make. I used a tip left above and left out the stock. I used tikka masala paste as I'm not keen on hot curries. I used fresh haddock and threw in some cooked prawns at the end.

    Made this today and it was delicious however I did modify it a bit in that I added a good spoonful of tomato puree, a teaspoon of hot chilli powder, some pineapple chunks and I used frozen fish. As such I had to cook slightly longer than advised to ensure that the fish was cooked but it was delicious especially with the pineapple chunks which added just that extra bit of something.

    Made the sauce with just a little water & simmered for 30 minutes till thick. Used Pataks balti paste and added some very lazy chilli. Used frozen cod and frozen prawns. Served with Uncle Bens microwave long grain & wild rice and garlic & coriander nan bread. Really nice, quick & easy midweek meal.

    This is great for how simple it is. I added half a cauliflower to give it more body, as my boyfriend wasn't having rice with it. Really satisfying on a rainy evening.

    Oh, I forgot to say that it probably doesn't need that much stock, if at all, as even with the extra veg mine was on the saucy side. I also used a tandoori paste in an attempt to tame the heat, but would happily go spicier next time.

    I made this last night, it was quick, easy and absolutely delicious!! I added spinach and plum tomatoes at the end to include some veg. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

    My girlfriend and I made this recipe recently. We substituted the cod with river cobbler and it worked deliciously well. We had to reduce the sauce quite a bit before serving. For that reason I would advise cutting the stock by 50%. Otherwise a very delicious curry. Which was fast, but unlikely to be ready in 15 minutes as advertised ;)
