Fish Curry Recipe

Fish curry is a popular dish in many countries, including India, Thailand, and Malaysia. The dish typically consists of fish cooked in a spicy and aromatic sauce made with ingredients like onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and a variety of spices.

Fish is a good source of high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and improve brain function. The other ingredients used in fish curry, such as tomatoes, ginger, and garlic, are also packed with vitamins and minerals that can support overall health. By using lean cuts of fish and avoiding excess oil, fish curry can be a low-calorie and nutritious meal option.
