Joe Wicks Goan fish curry recipe

Joe Wicks Goan fish curry is quick and easy to cook with only three steps in the method. 

In Joe’s one words: “You don’t need to go to India to enjoy a good curry. This recipe is surprisingly easy, but tastes incredible.” The paste for this recipe can be made ahead and in bulk so you can use it as a flavoursome base to soups and pasta sauces for the rest of the week. 

Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 3cm ginger, roughly chopped
• 1 green chilli, roughly chopped – remove the seeds if you don’t like it hot
• 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 red onion, diced
• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 x 400ml tin of full-fat coconut milk
• 500g haddock fillet, skinned and cut into large chunks
• juice of 1 lime
• ½ bunch of coriander, leaves only, roughly chopped

Method

1. Blitz the garlic, ginger, chilli and tomatoes in a food processor until smooth, then leave to one side.
2. Melt the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Throw in the onion and fry for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Sprinkle in the garam masala and cumin and fry, stirring continuously, for 30 seconds. Pour in the blitzed ingredients and bring to the boil before pouring in the coconut milk. Return to the boil again, then let it simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Add the haddock pieces to the curry, and bring back to a simmer. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes, or until it is just cooked through. Stir in the lime juice and coriander, then serve.

Top tips for making Joe Wicks Goan fish curry

According to the Body Coach himself, “this is a good meal to batch-cook and freeze when you’re prepping like a boss”. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer bags or containers and make sure you defrost before reheating thoroughly.

“In any recipe that calls for haddock you can swap in your favourite white fish. Cod, hake and pollock are all good options. Prawns and monkfish would make a great fancy alternative if you’re cooking this for a dinner party.”
