BEST DURBAN FISH CURRY RECIPE
July 19, 2023
A Tribute to My Grannies

This delightful fish curry is a heartfelt tribute to both my dear grannies, who each perfected the art of creating the most exquisite fish curries. Fond memories of my paternal granny’s dark and tangy fish curry, enriched with abundant tamarind, aromatic garlic, and tender baby brinjols, linger in my senses. Although she no longer cooks it, the taste and aroma remain etched in my soul. Equally cherished is my maternal granny’s version, which leans towards a more reddish colour curry and she balances tamarind beautifully, creating a dish just as marvellous.

My cooking style draws inspiration from both their traditions, resulting in a fish curry that exudes a harmonious blend of sweetness, tanginess, spiciness, and rich flavors. The combination of whole garlic cloves, baby brinjol, and a luscious gravy makes this dish truly exceptional.

If you’re new to making fish curry, it’s surprisingly simple. Begin by selecting quality white fish, and gather the ingredients listed below. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this delightful curry comes together.

Fish Options: Consider Cape Salmon, Shad, Mussel Cracker, Steenbras, Barracuda, Dorado, all readily available at supermarkets or fisheries. If uncertain, a good hake will work just as well.
