My Spice Tin

🐟🔥 QUICKFIRE MACKEREL CURRY 🔥🐟

Nearly forgot it was #NationalCurryWeek! 😅 So I raided the cupboard, grabbed whatever I could find, and here it is… Easy, tasty, dirt cheap, and on the table in about 15 mins. 🍛
You’ll need:

🧈 1 tbsp ghee (or oil)
🧅 ½ onion, diced
🧄 Garlic, ginger & chilli paste
🍅 ½ tin chopped tomatoes + a squeeze of tomato purée
🌶️ Turmeric, ground coriander, cumin & salt
🐟 1 tin mackerel (or sardines!)
🍋 Splash of vinegar or tamarind, plus lime or lemon to finish

How:
1️⃣ Fry the onion in ghee until golden brown
2️⃣ Add the garlic, ginger and chilli paste and cook for 2 mins
3️⃣ Add the tomatoes, purée and spices, then cook for about 5 mins until it’s a thick masala
4️⃣ Fold in the fish and add a splash of vinegar or tamarind for tang, then cook for 2–3 mins
5️⃣ Finish with a squeeze of lime and fresh coriander (if you’ve got it… I didn’t 🙈)

Served it up with the only thing left in the cupboard… some naans! 🫓 Rice, roti, naan or straight from the pan, all good. 😄

Proof you don’t need a fancy shop to make a cracking curry.
