Method

Fry the finely chopped onion in the oil for eight minutes until golden, then add the garlic, ginger and the ground spices and stir for a minute.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for five minutes until it breaks down into the onion.
Pour in the coconut milk and 100 ml of water, season with salt, and simmer for five minutes.
Add the cod in large chunks and poach gently for six minutes. Squeeze in the lime at the end and taste; it should be sharp.
Serve over the rice.

Worth knowing

Goan fish curries are soured with tamarind or kokum. Lime is the substitute that is in every kitchen and it does the job.
The rice is 100 g cooked, which is a small portion on purpose. The sauce is thin and there is a lot of it, so the plate does not feel short.
