: Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and dry the vegetables prior to chopping (as required):
- Baby Aubergine: Cut 2 slits, so that they look like an ‘X’ but do not cut them all the way through
- Coriander: chop it
- Onion: peel and mince i.e. chop fine
- Ginger: chop it fine or grate it to save time
- Green Chili; leave it whole, split in half and take out the seeds
- Tomato: cut into dices.
- Rice: wash it under running water. Then soak the rice for about 15 minutes
- Tamarind Paste: Dilute it some water, that makes it easier to mix into the sauce.

: Start the Tomato Rice
Heat some oil in a pot. Once the oil is hot enough, add half the mustard seeds. Allow to crackle to help release the flavour and get rid off any bitterness. Then add all the aniseed, half the onions. Sauté on a medium heat until the onion turns translucent then add the tomato and then the rice. Allow it cook for a minute then add the water. You need roughly 2ml of water for every 1g of rice. Touch of salt and let it cook on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
: Pan fry the Fish and Make the Fish Curry
Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat some oil in a pan. Once it is hot enough, pan fry the fish fillets. Just enough to colour the both sides. Remove and leave them aside.
Heat some oil in the same pan, add the rest of the mustard seeds. Then add the onions, ginger and curry leaves. Sauté on a medium heat until the onion turns translucent, then add in the turmeric and half the Madras Curry powder. Cook for a minute before adding the coconut milk, tamarind paste and green chilies. Add the fish back to the curry and let the whole thing simmer for about 10 – 15 minutes.
