Fish curry #Whats4dinner

As everyone has probably heard we all must eat more FISH! My goal / rule is to try and buy meat (beef, pork, chicken, & fish) for under 2 dollars a pound. When it comes to fish the options are so far canned salmon, Pollock, and tilapia. The options are limited and trying to create decent versatile tasty dishes can difficult. This is my recipe for a Tilapia Curry (spices always depend on whats in cupboard)

1 lb tilapia (salted, peppered and paprikaed lightly and dredged in flour)
3 tblspns butter
3 tblspns olive oil
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped(i always dice or julienne and store other half in freezer)
1 med onion chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 tspn fresh black pepper
1 tspn garam masala
1 tblspn curry powder
1 tspn granulated garlic
1 tspn celery salt
2 or so Tblspns flour
2 cups prepared basmati rice (i really like texture) suppose to be best white rice

warm nonstick pan melt butter w/olive oil add garlic simmer till brown & remove

brown cook fish flipping 1x to just done(keep on warmed covered plate in microwave)

add onion, celery, & green pepper cook till onions translucent

add garam masala, curry powder, celery salt, pepper, gran. garlic, for 1 minute

after 1 minute add flour to dry up whats left of butter/olive oil

add 2 cups chicken stock and simmer 10 - 15 minutes

(i start rice before adding stock and when rice is done sauce is done )

taste adjust seasoning w/sauce and will thicken more if needed

Finally, it is up to you add fish to sauce and serve over rice or place fish on rice and pour sauce over the top
