- 1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed.
- 1 tbsp olive oil.
- 1 onion finely chopped.
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed.

- 1 tsp asafoetida.

- 1 250g carton of coconut cream.
- 1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes.
- 2 red peppers, sliced.

Recipe Method
To make the curry sauce, place the cumin seeds, cardamom pods and fennel seeds in pestle and mortar and crush. If you prefer, you can use ground cumin and cardamom.
Place the olive oil in your sauté pan. Add the onion, garlic, chillies and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the spices for another minute to help release the aroma.
Add the coconut cream and tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes. This forms the base of your sauce, so you can allow to cool if you are storing this.
When ready to cook, add the peppers to your sauté pan and cook until they start to soften. Add the curry sauce and the cod fillets and bring up to a simmer.
Turn down to a medium/low heat and cover, cooking for a further 10 minutes or until the cod is cooked through.
Serve with a garnish of coriander leaves.

About this dish...
Most curries are served with rice, but if you wish to keep carbohydrates very low, we suggest you serve this with cauliflower or broccoli rice. For example, 150g (cooked weight) of white basmati contains approximately 175 kcals and 30g of carbohydrates. Compare this to 150g of cauliflower rice, at 53 kcals and 6.6g of carbs. Fat and protein are very similar. Switching to a low carb accompaniment not only saves you calories and carbs, but also delivers more fibre and nutrients.
