    Instant Pot Fish Curry is inspired by a popular fish curry that’s traditional in the Southern part of India.  This mild coconut milk-based curry with a tinge of tartness is so quick and easy to make. Kick up the heat by adding more jalapeno or serrano chilies.  Serve over rice.

    Introduction

    Since I use the Instant Pot as much as I do, I  find myself cooking a lot of meat and chicken dishes.  But every so often I get a hankering for fish!

    I always keep a bag of Costco wild-caught Pacific cod in my freezer so I can make something quick and easy like fish tacos or this Instant Pot Fish Curry. You may think that the Instant Pot would overcook fish, but I’ve not found that to be the case.

    My recipe for Instant Pot Fish Curry is based on a traditional and popular fish curry called Fish Molee or Meen Molee (pronounced ā€˜Moe-lee’) from the state of Kerala, in the southern part of India, where my family is from.

    I adapted the recipe from my stovetop version of Fish Molee Curry.  It’s a fairly easy recipe to make on the stovetop, so that’s also an option.

    This fish curry, like many South Indian recipes, has a coconut milk gravy.   If you’re familiar with Indian curries, you may notice that this recipe is different: it’s a fairly mild dish, with some very simple ingredients.  Some recipes for Fish Molee don’t even have coriander and cumin.  Any spiciness in the curry comes from the green chilies.

    If you’re looking for an easy and delicious Instant Pot fish recipe, this fish curry is one worth trying out!

    TIPS AND SUBSTITUTIONS


    Fish

    I use a firm, fleshy white fish like cod or haddock, or salmon.  The fish pieces I use are usually an inch or more in thickness. 

    If you’re using a thinner or flakier fish fillet like tilapia, it’s possible you could overcook the fish in the Instant Pot.  Either reduce cooking time or pressure cook the fish at low pressure for 3 minutes.  Be very careful when removing the fish not to let it break apart.

    When I forget to thaw the fish, I cut the frozen cod into pieces and follow the same recipe without changing cooking time.  If it needs to be cooked further, use the Saute function for a couple of minutes. Works great!


    Onions

    Most recipes call for sliced onions.  My family prefers the onions to be diced.  Feel free to use sliced onions.


    Curry Leaves

    If you are able to find freshĀ curry leaves, heat the oil and add about 10 to 12 leaves to the oil first, before sauteing other ingredients.

    You should be able to find curry leaves at Indian grocery stores or online.  And no, lime leaves, bay leaves, basil leaves are not even close – just omit curry leaves if you can’t get hold of them.

    Note: Curry leaves have no relationship to curry powder! If you’ve never used curry leaves, you really should try them out; the aroma and flavor are heavenly! 


    Spices

    My original recipe for Fish Molee Curry calls for a cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and cardamom pods.  I’ve left them out in this version, but you can definitely include them: first saute a cinnamon stick, 4 whole cloves, and 4 cardamom pods.  And then add onions.

    I find that serrano green chilies have a more consistent heat level than jalapenos do.  i.e. while one jalapeno pepper can be very spicy,  another can be pretty mild.  So I like to use serrano chili peppers in my cooking.

    You can slice the green chili pieces in half lengthwise and that makes it easier to identify and remove them if you need to, before serving.

      This is the first time I ever used my new instant pot. I used monkfish for the recipe. Although I had a couple of instant pot issues, the recipe was fabulous. I did not have curry leaves so I used ground curry. The flavors were rich. I also added some mushrooms and asparagus at the end just because I had them in the refrigerator and needed to use them. I would make this again whether my instant pot was working or not.

      I used ling cod and had to cut it in somewhat smaller pieces so I only cooked at pressure for 1 minute (then natural release). I used less fish than called for in the recipe because that is all I had but I made the full amount of sauce. I did use the extra spices (cinnamon stick, whole cloves and cardamoms). This dish was fantastic. I have a an instant pot that I am borrowing right now and this is the best recipe I have made in it! Amazing flavors. My husband said it is 10/10!

      This recipe was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. I had The wild cod from Costco, a can of coconut milk and a can of tomatoes and wanted to use my instant pot and voila your recipe popped right up! The Costco cod is a great find btw! I also added In a Kabocha squash, romanesco and pickled jalapeƱos (which tasted great but used cayenne to actually turn up the heat). Can’t wait to make it again, thank you!

      Excellent thank you.
      My fish was frozen – I just put the fillets in whole and did 4 minutes on high pressure with quick release and it turned out great.

        Karen, curry powder and curry leaves are not related at all, so it’s best to just omit the curry leaves. You could sprinkle the final dish with some cilantro if you’d like. Hope you enjoy the recipe.

            I’ve made this recipe twice now- We LOVE it!! It comes together so quick even though there are several things to chop up. I add a bit more ginger and garlic than the recipe calls for- but that’s just because I love ginger and garlic.

      What a wonderful recipe! So simple and very easy to follow instructions. I was hesitant about the 2 min cook time but the fish was cooked to perfection. Thank you!

      I love your “tried and true” recipes. I find your cooking times are bang on. I used thick pieces of bass for this. I was able to find curry leaves. Love shopping in ethnis stores for correct ingredients. I love to cook and your recipes are so easy to follow. Love my IP!!!! Keep on cookin’!!!!!!

        Hi Pat, what a lovely comment that’ll keep me going for the whole week and longer! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I’m glad you liked the recipe. Don’t you love the aroma of curry leaves frying? – one of my favorite smells, that reminds me of my mom’s homecooking in India.
