Curry is the ultimate comfort food! In these harsh and bitter cold days nothing beats a warm bowl full of homemade curry and rice!From the moment you start cooking, the emanating redolence of warm spices fill the air resulting in hunger pangs all around!The aroma, the vibrant color and the unbeatable flavor of a good curry is a food lover’s ultimate joy. Its no wonder that a curry is so loved by people everywhere.If you’re a curry lover then this easy recipe will blow you away with its deliciousness. I’m sharing with you my Salmon yoghurt curry that I’ve learnt from my Dad and cook it all the time.If you don’t like Salmon, then Arctic Char or Tilapia will also work well.
I used my latest kitchen addition (my new Air Fryer) to fry the fish first before adding it into the sauce. I loved how the fish cubes developed a lovely golden color without the use of too much oil (I just drizzled a few drops) in a matter of minutes and I couldn’t resist eating a couple just on their own! The Air Fryer does a good job of cooking things really fast and I like using it. I will be trying more Air Fryer recipes and sharing it with you.
This curry does require a few ingredients from your Indian grocers like nigella seeds and Kashmiri chilies. The Kashmiri chilies are non-spicy and just used to give that vibrant color to the sauce. The yoghurt is added towards the end of the cooking and make sure to keep stirring it until its nicely incorporated into the curry and does not curdle.
The aromatic nigella seeds, cardamom and cinnamon are the first ingredients that flavor the oil. Some onions, ginger, cumin and coriander go next adding the next layers of flavor to this dish. Once the sauce simmers away its time to add the perfectly golden Salmon cubes and they don’t take long to come together since they’re already cooked in the air fryer.The resulting curry is a harmonious blend of wonderful spices with Salmon that’s sure to satiate your taste buds. Enjoy!
