Method

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
-
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
-
Add the tikka masala paste and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring consistently to prevent burning.
-
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
-
Carefully add the white fish. Simmer until the fish is opaque and flaky, roughly 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the rice, rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear. Combine it with the broth in a separate frying pan, bringing it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until cooked.

Once both the rice and curry are done, serve the fish curry hot, garnished with fresh coriander and mint along with the aromatic rice.
