✨ Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
This dish is a beautiful balance between comfort and freshness. The silky coconut milk creates a rich and velvety base, while the lime juice and zest bring brightness and tang that lift the whole soup. The tender white fish adds protein and absorbs all those fragrant spices — ginger, garlic, cumin, and turmeric — turning this into a feel-good meal that nourishes both body and soul.
💚 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 500 g fresh white fish (cod, tilapia, or any firm fish), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 400 ml coconut milk
- Juice and zest of 2 limes
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 cm piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 red chili pepper, finely chopped (optional, for a gentle heat)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh coriander (cilantro), for garnish
🔥 How to Make It:
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns translucent and fragrant. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and chili pepper, cooking for another minute until everything smells incredible.
- Add spices: Sprinkle in the cumin and turmeric, stirring to release their earthy aroma.
- Pour in the coconut milk: Slowly add the coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring it to a gentle simmer — don’t boil, or the coconut milk may separate.
- Add the fish: Carefully place the fish pieces into the soup. Let them cook gently for 6–8 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish with lime: Add the lime juice and zest, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the lime if you like it extra tangy.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle into bowls and top with fresh coriander. Serve with a slice of crusty bread or jasmine rice for a complete meal.
