Weeknight Red Curry

This vibrant weeknight red curry is a fantastic way to bring bold, aromatic flavours to your kitchen without needing hours of preparation. The base is built on a fragrant blend of ginger, garlic and shallots, enriched with turmeric and creamy coconut milk. By using shop-bought red curry paste and tinned tomatoes, you create a deeply savoury sauce that perfectly complements succulent pieces of fresh white fish and seasonal vegetables.

As a high-protein dish, this meal is as nourishing as it is comforting, making it ideal for a healthy midweek supper. The combination of cod or halibut with fibre-rich cauliflower and carrots ensures a balanced plate that feels indulgent yet light. Serve it over delicate rice noodles with a generous squeeze of lime to cut through the coconut richness for a truly authentic finish.

Ingredients for Weeknight Red Curry

  • 1 large shallot

  • 6 dientes de ajo

  • 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into pieces

  • 2 cucharadas de aceite vegetal

  • 2 cucharadas de pasta de curry rojo

  • 2 cucharaditas de cúrcuma molida

  • 350ml whole peeled tomatoes, plus juices from one 425g can or half of one 800g can

  • 1 lata (375 g) de leche de coco sin azúcar

  • Sal kosher

  • 450g mixed vegetables (such as cauliflower, carrots, and/or shallots), cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 450g firm white fish (such as halibut or cod), skin removed, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • Cooked rice noodles, coriander leaves with tender stems, and lime wedges (for serving)

Pulse shallot, garlic, and ginger in a food processor to finely chop. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add shallot mixture and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add curry paste and turmeric; cook, stirring, until paste is darkened in colour and mixture starts to stick to pan, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, breaking up with your hands, then juices. Cook, stirring often and scraping up browned bits, until tomatoes start to break down and stick to pot, about 5 minutes.

Stir in coconut milk and season with salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until mixture is slightly thickened and flavours meld, 8–10 minutes. Add vegetables and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8–10 minutes.

Season fish all over with salt and nestle into curry (add a little more water if it’s very thick). Return to a simmer and cook just until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Spoon curry over rice noodles and top with coriander and a squeeze of lime.

Curry base (without vegetables or fish) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat over medium-low, adding water to thin as needed.
