Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons coriander
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- .2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 pound cod fillets, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onion. Lower the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and caramelized.
- Stir the garlic and ginger paste into the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, and salt, followed by the jalapenos, cilantro, lemon juice, and tomatoes with their juice. Scrape any browned bits from the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. For even deeper flavor, you can set the sauce aside for a few hours to allow the ingredients to meld together.
- Bring the sauce back to a boil and add the cod to the skillet. Lower the heat and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes apart when tested with a fork.
