Ready To Cook – Paste for Fish Curry

One pot, three steps, ready in 15–20 minutes (approx.)

Rich curry × aromatic spices × silky coconut milk. Designed especially for fish, prawns, squid, and shellfish, this paste delivers authentic Southeast Asian flavor. Consistently tasty, easy to cook, and beginner-friendly—perfect for weeknights, family gatherings, meal prep, or outdoor cooking.

Originating from Indonesia and Malaysia, Fish Curry reflects the region’s multicultural culinary heritage, bringing together sour, spicy, aromatic, and savory elements in one dish. Fresh seafood simmered in the curry base quickly absorbs the spice-infused broth, creating succulent bites with layered depth. Seasonal vegetables like eggplant, tomato, and okra add brightness, balance, and color to the pot.

Best enjoyed with hot steamed rice—the starch perfectly softens the spice kick, making each spoonful satisfying yet light.

Cooking Method

1. Prepare the base: Mix 1 pack of Tean’s Fish Curry Paste with 500 ml (2 cups) water and bring to a boil.

2. Add seafood: Stir in 500 g of fish (or other seafood), cover, and simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes.

3. Add vegetables: Add 3 okra, 1 tomato (cut), and 1 small onion (cut); simmer another 5 minutes.

   • For richer taste: Stir in coconut milk before turning off the heat.

   • Spice tip: Serve mild first, then adjust heat individually with chili oil or fresh chilies.

Pro Tips (Optional)

• Seafood swap: Snapper, grouper, mackerel, prawns, or squid all work—mix and match for variety.

• Pairings: Perfect with rice, Indian flatbread, crusty baguette, or noodles.

• One-pot meal: Add potatoes or onions to thicken and make it extra hearty.

Note: Adjust ingredient amounts and cooking time based on your stove power and taste preference.
