Ingredients:

4 steaks of firm sea fish
2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
60g ghee, butter or oil
1 tsp curry powder
1 dessertspoon tomato purée
120ml water

Method:

Heat the ghee or oil in a pan. When hot, add the onions and fry for 2 minutes then add the garlic and fry for 2 minutes more. Scatter over the curry powder, stir to combine and continue frying for 4 minutes more over medium-high heat.

Stir in the tomato purée and the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Gently lay the fish fillets on top and allow to cook in the gravy for about 8 to 12 minutes (depending on thickness) or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Once you have added the fish, shake the pan from time to time to ensure the fish are not sticking to the bottom. Serve hot on a bed of rice.
