Coconut Fish Curry with the Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave

Steam and Microwave Coconut Fish Curry:

I wanted to cook something more complex using my rather beautiful new Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave. Fortunately, it comes with a selection of recipes included in the manual and Coconut Fish Curry looked really interesting.

It’s the first time I’ve made a curry without frying the veg and protein so I was concerned as to whether it would have enough flavour? You can use any firm white fish you have in the fridge and I threw in a couple of handfuls of frozen peas at the end because I felt like it.

Ingredients

• 1 onion chopped
• 1 red pepper deseeded and cubed
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 1 to mato chopped
• 1 heaped tablespoon curry paste
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 600 g white fish coley, pollock (cubed)
• Salt and pepper
• 1 Pyrex dish 22cm

Instructions

1. Sweat the chopped onion and red pepper in the dish, covered, for 4-5 minutes on High Microwave.
2. Add coconut milk, tomato, curry paste and lemon juice.
3. Cook on on High Microwave for 3 minutes.
4. Add cubed fish and then cover.
5. Cook on on High Microwave for 6-7 minutes stirring halfway through cooking.
6. Season to taste.

The process was straightforward and the veg still had a crispness which was unexpected. The texture of the fish had a certain fluffiness which was interesting and not unpleasant. However flavours were good and from a health perspective, this was a win with no oil or ghee being used. It was great to make the recipe using just one dish – and perfect to serve with rice or nan.

So far I am loving using my Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave.
