Recipe by /contributors/claire-saffitz Curry" rhymes with "hurry" for a reason. A few shortcut ingredients yield a gently spiced, deep-flavored sauce that’s ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 large shallot
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 cups whole peeled tomatoes, plus juices from one 15-ounce can or half of one 28-ounce can
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as cauliflower, carrots, and/or shallots), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound firm white fish (such as halibut or cod), skin removed, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Cooked rice noodles, cilantro leaves with tender stems, and lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Pulse shallot, garlic, and ginger in a food processor to finely chop. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add shallot mixture and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add curry paste and turmeric; cook, stirring, until paste is darkened in color and mixture starts to stick to pan, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, breaking up with your hands, then juices. Cook, stirring often and scraping up browned bits, until tomatoes start to break down and stick to pot, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in coconut milk and season with salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until mixture is slightly thickened and flavors meld, 8 –10 minutes. Add vegetables and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8 –10 minutes.
  3. Season fish all over with salt and nestle into curry (add a little more water if it’s very thick). Return to a simmer and cook just until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Spoon curry over rice noodles and top with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
