About this dish
This is a weeknight curry built on a tomato and onion base, the kind cooked in homes all over India with whatever firm fish is fresh. Jewfish holds together well in the sauce, so the fillets stay in neat pieces rather than breaking up. Brown the base properly before the liquid goes in, because that is where the depth comes from. Keep the simmer gentle once the fish is in.
