Mild Fish Curry with Rice

8 comments

This Mild Fish Curry is not only easy to put together, but it’s also chock-full of nutritious vegetables like zucchini, carrots, onions, and pumpkin. And the best part? It’s perfect for a cozy winter dinner. 

One of the things I love about this fish curry is how versatile it is. Don’t have zucchini or pumpkin on hand? Swap them for whatever veggies you do have in your fridge. It’s a recipe that can help you reduce the waste in your fridge. You can even use frozen veggies to keep it budget friendly. The same goes for the fish – use whatever mild white fish you prefer, that’s on special or have on hand. It’s a forgiving recipe that allows you to get creative with your ingredients.

If you’re worried about the spiciness factor, fear not. This yellow curry is intentionally mild, if you are feeding kids reduce the amount of curry you use and serve with some bread. Of course, if you prefer a bit more kick, feel free to add in some chili powder or red pepper flakes to suit your taste. This recipe is all about adapting to your preferences and making it your own.

YUM! I love the frozen fish fillets from Aldi (such a cheap way of bringing fish into our meals!), and this looks like a winning recipe for them. 🙂

I agree Sarah, we try to have fish once a week. We all love it and so good for the kids too.

I really don’t cook enough fish – and I think it’s because I lack recipe inspiration! I’m definitely going to give this a try though!

Just made this exactly to recipe with freshly caught shark. Definitely a keeper!! Will use crayfish too – the sweetness of cray meat will work really well with these flavours.
