Here is another classic Indian Restaurant (as in restaurants in India) recipe for fish skewers (fish tikka) served with a spicy tomato and cream gravy.

Ingredients:

1 batch fish tikka skewers

For the Masala
2 tbsp oil
1 dried bay leaf (Indian bay for preference)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp minced ginger (ginger paste)
1/2 tsp ground turmeric (turmeric powder)
2 tsp ground coriander (coriander powder)
1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
1 tbsp tomato purée
60ml (1/4 cup) canned tomatoes
1 tsp lemon juice
60ml (1/4 cup) fresh double (heavy) cream
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
4g (1/4 cup/4 tbsp) chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves
Water
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves, to garnish

Method:

Prepare the skewers according to the fish tikka recipe.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bay leaf and fry for a few seconds. Add the onions and fry, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Now add the ginger and fry, stirring constantly, for a minute or until fragrant.

Add the ground turmeric, ground coriander and red chilli powder. Fry, stirring constantly, for a minute then add the tomato puree and sauté for 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and cream then add just enough water to make thick sauce. Season with salt and simmer for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking.

Add the garam masala, kasuri methi and coriander (cilantro) leaves, stirring to combine. Add the fish tikka pieces and stir to combine. Heat through, garnish with more coriander (cilantro) leaves and serve.
