"This is a wonderful Madhur Jaffrey recipe for fish. King Fish is my favourite fish and I get the freshest fish right at my door (at 9.00 a.m.)from my fish vendor named Jai Singh. It is almost as fresh as just out of the sea. Hmmm... one of the pluses of living near the sea. We have fish almost 4 days a week and I love variety so have a host of recipes that I have tried and used over and over again for 8 years now. This is definitely the top of the list."

I made this dish with pollock fillet and it came out perfectly. Hot, but not too hot. I prefer my fish not to be breaded so I was pleased to find a delicious and easy baked fish recipe. I didn't brown the fish because I find pollock to be pretty solid so there is no need to do it to keep it from falling apart.

Flavour was good, but not sure if I would make it again. Three onions would have been excessive in my estimation, so I used one large onion which seemed sufficient. As a whole, it just didn't jump out at me as being as awesome as some others felt. Different tastes I guess!

This dish made my week! Delicious! What a great fish recipe - such a nice change from baked lemon cod or anything that's breaded. The seasoning was perfect. It was easy to make and was out of this world delicious!

This was a easy tasty dish. I made it with trout though, as i had no cod. I will definitely be using this recipe again, maybe with cod next time.

Did not use mustard seeds and or the ginger root. Used fresh tomatoes and extra garlic.

Great flavour ... wonderful aroma .... easy to prepare ... not too much heat! Since my "fresh-from-the-garden" tomatoes were rather large & juicy, I had too much "sauce" but thats OK - I'll eat it for breakfast this morning. I suggest keeping a lid close by at step 3 as the mustard seeds were jumping everywhere (LOL)!!! I substituted some green curry paste (a concentrated mixture of green chilies & Thai spices according to the label) for the fresh green chilies as I had none. Thanx Fay for a delicious entree!

What a wonderful dish. The tomato sauce for this was so fragrant and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. I used cod fillets, which happened to be on sale this week, and only 1 green chili because it was quite large, and dear hubby doesn't have quite the tolerance for "heat" that I do : >. Because I used fillets instead of steaks, I skipped browning them in a pan, and just let them cook through in the oven. I was so pleased with this dish because it tasted evey bit as good, if not better, then some of the tomato based curry dishes at the Indian restuarants here!!
