ingredients
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 cardamom pods lightly crushed
OR
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 small red dried chiles, whole
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (14 ounce size) diced tomatoes
1/2 pound okra
1 cup water
salt and pepper
1 pound catfish
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
rice
directions
Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and chilies to the dry pan. Cook stirring for about 30 seconds until spices are fragrant. Add oil and reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until softened slightly. Add garlic and cook for an additional two minutes until garlic is soft but not brown.
Meanwhile trim woody ends from okra and cut into one inch pieces. Add tomatoes, okra, water and some salt and pepper to the saute pan. Stir and cover. Simmer for about 5 minutes until okra has begun to soften but isn't mushy.
Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Stir half the chopped cilantro into the tomatoes. Nestle fish into the sauce and cover again with the lid. Simmer fish for 7-10 minutes until cooked through, turning once during cooking to coat with sauce. If liquid is evaporating too quickly, add some warm water to the pan.
To serve, plate fish on a bed of rice and surround with tomato and okra sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I didn't expect to like this recipe anywhere near as much as I did! The fish was mild and had very good texture. The curry sauce lost a little flavor as it cooked so I did add some more of the powdered spices towards the end. The okra was a nice touch and added thickness to the sauce. If you can't get fresh okra you can use frozen.
