Ingredients

  • 150 g Fine samoule (white fish fillet, skinless)
  • 1 unit Tomato (diced)
  • 1 unit Carrot (diced)
  • 150 g Cauliflower (cut florets)
  • 100 g Peas (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 unit Garlic clove (crushed)
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato concentrate (thick puree)
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato coulis (sweet‑acidic liquid)
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds (yellow or brown)
  • A few leaves garnish Fresh coriander (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 unit Green chili (optional, seeded and finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral oil (sunflower or canola))
  • to taste Salt
  • 400 ml Water (about 40 cl)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and toast mustard seeds

    Pour the oil into the pan, heat over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them pop (about 30 s).

    Time: PT1M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  2. Add green chili and onions

    Add the chopped green chili (and optionally a small knob of butter). Sauté until the onions are golden and slightly caramelized, about 4 minutes.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  3. Sauté the vegetables

    Add the diced tomato, carrot, cauliflower florets and peas. Cover and cook 5 minutes over medium heat.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  4. Add aromatics and concentrates

    Add the crushed garlic, grated ginger, tomato concentrate and tomato coulis. Stir, then pour a little water (≈30 ml) to prevent the mixture from sticking. Cook 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  5. Add water and bring to a boil

    Pour 400 ml water (about twice the volume of the samoule). Salt. Cover and let gently boil until the liquid simmers, about 5 minutes.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  6. Cook the samoule

    Gently place the samoule pieces into the pan, gently stir to coat them with sauce. Cover and simmer over very low heat 3 to 4 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: feu doux

  7. Rest off the heat

    Turn off the heat and let rest, still covered, 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to stabilize and the fish to finish cooking gently.

    Time: PT10M

  8. Finishing and serving

    Just before serving, add the lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander. Serve hot, optionally with basmati rice or naan bread.

    Time: PT1M
