In Mauritius we are a fusion of French, English, Chinese, and most of
all Indian. This dish is eaten any time of year because Mauritius is
hot all year round. The whole family can enjoy this and you can
fillet the fish or eat it on the bone. I have eaten this since I was
a child and it is a recipe that has been eaten for centuries.
Heat the oil in a pan and lightly brown the onion.
Put the garlic, ginger, chiles, and curry leaves in a blender (or
finely chop) then fry with the onion.
Put the tomatoes in hot water for a few minutes, remove the skins, and
finely chop.
Add the tomatoes to the mixture. Cover and simmer until it thickens,
about 30 minutes. It needs to slightly stick to the pan.
Stir and add 1/2 cup of water.
Deep fry the fish steaks in a frying pan or fryer. Remove and add to
the sauce.
Cover the fish with the sauce, adding extra water if needed to make
sure the steaks are covered.
Simmer for a further 10 minutes and serve topped with fresh, chopped
coriander leaves.
Eat with rice, boiled potatoes, or crusty bread and salad.
