How to make Thai Fish Curry
Prepare the Base
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Curry Paste
Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to bloom.
Add Coconut Milk
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the Curry
Add fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Add Fish and Vegetables
Add the fish chunks to the curry, submerging them in the sauce.
If using vegetables, add them now.
Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh basil or cilantro leaves on top for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.
Tips & Tricks
Use freshly caught fish for the best taste.
For a spicier curry, add sliced red chili or chili flakes.
Substitute shrimp or tofu if desired for a different variation.
