Simply Cook - Goan Fish Curry

Ever fancied restaurant quality meals in your own home? Well SimplyCook have come up with a new concept for a monthly subscription service which provides a box of 4 recipe kits which will have you cooking up splendid dishes from around the world in around 20 minutes. All the ingredients are natural, being hand picked and blended by their chefs. SimplyCook invited me to try out the service for myself and after perusing all 50 of their delicious looking recipes on-line, I was very much looking forward to my delivery. Unlike other recipe kits, you provide the main ingredients and the kit contains 3 pots that provide all the flavours and spices needed.

I have a particular penchant for fish curry so was very pleased to find the Goan Fish Curry kit in my box (once your subscription gets going you can choose your kits after your initial box choice). The other recipe kits I received were: Cajun Chicken with Red Pepper Sweet Potato Mash, Malay Laksa and Sri Lankan Duck Curry which all sound delicious. I think we often need a push to cook with ingredients we don’t usually buy so for me the duck will make a nice change!

Goan Fish Curry recipe kit – one of 50 in the Simply Cook range.

So back to the Goan Fish Curry which was so quick and simple to make it was almost like painting by numbers. I really believe that even a complete novice would achieve great results with these recipes. The SimplyCook recipe cards are very helpful as each one contains a handy hint, tells you what ingredients you need to buy, what you’ll need from your cupboard and there’s even a tear off shopping list at the top! The Goan Fish Curry, as you will see from the recipe below, was completely fuss free and totally delicious. It could easily have served 3 or perhaps 4 if I’d added some more fish. The handy tip tor this recipe said I could also have used prawns or added butternut squash. The depths of flavour were just like those you’d get in a restaurant and I loved the crunch from the whole mustard seeds. Both hubby and I really enjoyed this curry!

So apart from the SimplyCook recipes being super tasty and super quick to make I like that:

  • The box is delivered by post (within 2 days) so no waiting in for a courier, it just pops through your letter box.
  • There are no fresh ingredients so no pressure on you to cook the recipes immediately or potential for food waste should unforeseen circumstances arise.
  • You can buy ingredients at your leisure and benefit from special offers which is not an option with a full meal kit, so potential to save money.
  • The kits are good value for money as you are getting quality spices and recipe cards which are beautifully packaged.
  • There is no waste. How many times have you bought a jar of spice for a one off recipe and then never used it again?
  • Even after a long day at work you’re not going to be too tired to make these recipes as they are so straightforward and quick.
  • You can broaden you tastes by trying foods you might never have thought to eat before.
  • All the recipes on-line flag up known allergens.
  • A subscription would make a really thoughtful gift.

    I adore fish curry whether it is white fish or shell fish or a mixture of both and this looks a perfect recipe for me

    I know it’s a bit naughty on the packing front, but I love these type of boxes. They get you to cook things you might not otherwise do. Love the pictures, that curry looks so inviting.

    I had my first Goan curry recently and found it really nice, though on the fiery side. I love the sound of your recipe. I do think fish makes a lovely light curry.

    This looks really fab! I’ve always been a bit put off food box subscription services, but this one looks a bit different and I’m quite impressed!

      Me too Sally, I have been left exhausted after spending 3 nights cooking from a full kit where the kit took nearly and hour to make and really fiddly! Simply Cook is completely different, quicker and cheaper.

    Oh wow Camilla – that looks AMAZING! We are huge curry fans in this house but don’t make fish curries nearly often enough – this sounds like the perfect easy weeknight solution 🙂

    Huibby LOVES fish curry but I’ve never cooked it for him as I have a bit of a fish phobia! I really should get a grip and give it a go! That kit looks like a great way to start!

    I love a good recipe subscription service. We got given 6 months of a spice subscription last year it was absolutely fab! This looks fantastic too. I adore Goan Fish Curry so would love to receive this recipe in the post.
