Lovely dish. Followed the recipe exactly and turned out delicious. There was a lot of sauce so next time I will reduce the amount to 100ml and add a little chilli.
Quick, easy and healthy dish. I will definitely cook again.

Made this recipe but with less stock & reduced down more to thicken, can always add more water to desired consistency, added chunks of red pepper for added texture & served with basmati rice with cumin seeds added to the water during cooking, was a lovely dish, tasty, low fat, easy to make

This was very tasty. I made it with a huge piece of cod loin I bought.
I wasn't sure on the measurements on the madras paste (heaped or flat tablespoons?). In the end I used 2.5 flat tablespoons of pataks madras paste, and it was a good balance with just enough kick.

The sauce was definitely too thin though, even after adding cornflour. With the sauce form the tinned tomates, I'd only use 100ml of stock next time.

I love this basic dish. I add any peppers/mushrooms etc I have in the fridge and any white fish. I have even made this before with 'cook from frozen' fillets and it was still nice and very economical!

Delicious! I added chickpeas, and the fish only took a couple of minutes to cook. I simmered the onions in the sauce for a few minutes to reduce the liquid a little.

I've done this several times now - it really is so easy and quick. I've used cod loin (when on offer in Tesco).

Really easy to make, and cheap too if you use a different fish - I used coley and it was delicious.

It was lovely even though I made a bit of a mess of it.....I'm going to try again and I'm sure it will be even better.

Loved this and did it just as recipe except for the curry paste and added Balti instead of Madras to in deference to my wife who doesn't like her curries too hot. Served it with Turmeric pilau with golden onions and it went down a treat. Will very much do again and will try the pesto version. If it's half as good it will be most acceptable!

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 ;)

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!

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.

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.

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.
