How to Make Easy Microwave Makhani Fish Curry

  • Wash the fish thoroughly, cut into 1-inch cubes and keep aside.
  • Dry roast the cumin seeds, and grind together with ginger and garlic to make a coarse paste.
  • In a microwave oven-safe dish, add 2 tbsp butter, and heat for 30 seconds on 100% power.
  • Add the ginger, garlic and cumin seed paste, and cook for 2 minutes on 100% power, making sure to stir in between.
  • Add the chopped onions and cook for another 2 minutes on 100% power.
  • Stir the onions in between.
  • Once the onion turns translucent, add the pureed tomato, tomato ketchup, dried fenugreek leaves, crushed red pepper and mix well.
  • Cook for 3 minutes on 100% power; make sure to stir in between.
  • Add yogurt, fish and salt, and mix well.
  • Cook for 2 minutes on 100% power.
  • Add milk and gently stir the pieces into the gravy.
  • Check for salt and cook for another minute on 100% power.
  • Be very gentle while stirring, as the fish is more than half cooked now and tends to break.
  • Sprinkle garam masala, add the chopped coriander leaves, and let the curry sit in the heat inside the microwave for some time.
  • Serve hot with rice/pulao/fried rice, goes well with chapattis and parathas too.
