Introduction
This recipe uses delicate Basa fish fillets, lightly coated and pan-seared, then simmered with caramelized onions and mushrooms in a rich curry sauce. The fish remains tender and absorbs the flavorful curry, making it perfect served over rice.
Step 1
Slice the onions into strips.
Step 2
Cut the Basa fish into 5-7 cm chunks (avoid cutting them too small).
Step 3
Place potato starch in a container, lightly coat the fish chunks, and let them rest briefly so the starch adheres properly.
Step 4
Heat a little oil in a frying pan, sear the coated fish chunks until both sides are colored, then remove and set aside (they do not need to be fully cooked).
Step 5
Add a little more oil to the same pan, sauté the onion strips; add a splash of water and cover to steam-soften the onions until caramelized.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Basa is a white fish with a mild flavor and delicate texture that can break easily. A light coating of starch helps protect the fish, adds fragrance, and helps it absorb the curry sauce. 💡
Keep the fish chunks about 5-7 cm wide to prevent them from breaking apart during cooking. ⚠️
When caramelizing onions, adding a little water and covering the pan helps them soften and brown more quickly. 🍳
Ensure curry cubes are fully dissolved after adding to prevent them from settling and burning at the bottom of the pan. ⚠️
