Tinfish / Pilchard Curry

1 can of tinfish
2 tomatoes chopped/grated
1 tablespoon masala
1 level teaspoon ground ginger and garlic
few curry leaves
4 green chillies
2 utd potatoes
salt
half teaspoon sugar


Method
Fry onions in oil. Add masala. Next add tomatoes, ginger and garlic and curry leaves .Add salt and half teaspoon sugar. Mix, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until soft and mushy. Add potatoes and cook until almost soft. Cook on low and you only need to add a little water. Add tinfish, be careful not to stir too much as it flakes easily. Once potatoes are soft, garnish with coriander. This is a typical Indian tinfish curry. You can use tamarind but it is more often used when making fish curry.

Yep...Don't know how Indianified Blu is

Question: most (if not all) of the tinfish comes canned in a tomato sauce. Yet I seee in your recipes you mention that chopped tomatoes must be added into the recipe. Does this mean you add some chopped tomatoes AND you use the tomato sauce that the fish came in ?

I am clued up enough to know that dhania = coriander

Try get hold of the pilchards/sardines in oil. They are available, even at the supermarkets. But yes, even if they come in a little tomato sauce, I'd still add canned tomatoes, not freshly chopped...

Fresh tomatoes are mostly water unless you buy them from farmers markets. You therefore have to cook them for an age to get any sort of decent flavour into sauces. Luckily the canning process takes care of some of this work for you and also softens them, so they cook into sauces far easier with a higher concentration of flavour...

Cans have preservatives and all the other fun stuff.

You can take fresh tomatoes and puree them in a jiffy

Canned tomatoes should have no added preservatives. There is no need for them.

More than just that, most preservatives are simply not bad for us at all. This hyped-up nonsense about preservatives was brought about by a few culprits that are no longer in our food. Sensationalism at its best...

By default that they are canned... shouldn't they be anything added ?

Brine, salt, other E[insert number]....

Most Indian women learn to cook from their mothers, so when Mum says use fresh tomatoes...you use fresh tomatoes
