Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup rice and cook with 2 cups water in a pot or rice cooker until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Keep warm.
Step 2
Slice the 1 onion and slit the 2 green chilies lengthwise. Pat the 1 lb fish dry and cut into 2-inch chunks.
Step 3
In a deep pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium. Add the sliced onion and green chilies, sauté until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp tamarind paste, and 1 tsp salt. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the 1 can coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add the fish chunks in a single layer. Simmer gently, spooning sauce over fish, until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the curry hot over the cooked rice.
