Sorak curry is a traditional Goanese coconut-based curry prepared when fish is not available. Try out my version of the spicy and tangy red curry with fish that is packed with flavors.
Ingredients
- 500 gm fish fillet
- 2 tbsp oil
- 8-10 Kashmiri red chillies
- 1 tbsp cumin powder (jeera)
- 1 tbsp coriander powder (dhania)
Marinade
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Red masala
- 1/2 cup grated coconut

Garam masala
- 6 cloves
- 8-10 peppercorns
- 5 green cardamoms

Instructions
- To begin, soak the Kashmiri red chillies in hot water for 2-3 hours. De-seed them and blend them into a smooth paste. If you prefer a hotter version, leave a few chillies with seeds.
- Marinate the fish fillets with salt, turmeric powder and lemon juice. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the curry paste by blending together grated coconut, tamarind paste, onion, garlic, and ginger.
- Add the red chilli paste prepared earlier. Add in the ground garam masala. Mix well.
- Next add cumin powder (jeera) and coriander powder (dhania). Mix.
- Add in the fish fillets. Cover with a lid again and let it simmer until the fish is cooked.
- The Goan Red Fish Curry is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
