Bengali Fish Curry with Seem (Flat Green Beans)
Ingredients:

**Marinade Spices 🐠
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt

**👩🏽‍🍳 For the Curry🍛
1 Tilapia fish, cut into 4 pieces (about 1/2 lbs)
3/4 tsp turmeric
3/4 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp red chili powder (you can use cayenne or paprika)
1 cup of sliced onion
2 tsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
3 green chili, optional
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
2 red potatoes, cut into wedges
2 cups of Seem (flat lima beans or any other vegetable)
1 tomato, cut into wedges
1/3 cup of oil
3 cups of hot water (tap is fine)
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro, or as much or less as you want.

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, add the fish and the marinade spices. Rub the spices all over the fish (don’t forget the inside of the head). Set aside for 20 mins, while you prepare everything else.
2. In a shallow pan, over medium high heat, add 1/4 cup of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the fish. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until it’s lightly brown, then very carefully flip them over. Fry for another 2-3 mins then remove from the pan.
3. In the same pan, add the rest of the oil followed by the onion and green chili (if using). Sauté for 2 mins, until the onion is translucent. Now add in the ginger and garlic paste. Sauté for another minute, until the paste is nice and fragrant. Now add in all other spices, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder. Toss everything to mix. Now add in 1/4 cup of hot water and cook the spices for 2-3 minutes.
4. Once the spices are cooked, add the potatoes and beans. Lower the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, veggies should be cooked through but not falling apart. Now add the tomatoes and toss to mix.
6. Add the fish back in, including their drippings. Add the rest of the hot water and turn up the heat to high. Cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes.
7. Add fresh chopped cilantro and turn off the heat.
