At Sister’s Cuisines, we believe that seafood requires a delicate touch and a strong understanding of “Flavor Architecture.” Our Dhaba Style Lahori Fish Curry is a balance of heat, acidity, and aromatic herbs.
In Step 1, we sear the fish with turmeric. Turmeric acts as a natural deodorizer for the fish, while the heat creates a light crust. This ensures that during the 10-minute simmer, the fish stays firm and “Lajawab” rather than becoming mushy.
Using both chopped tomatoes and Tomato Puree provides a dual-layered flavor profile. The chopped tomatoes provide texture, while the puree offers a concentrated tanginess that cuts through the richness of the oil, highlighting the freshness of the fish.
Why do we add Kasuri Methi at the very end? High heat can make dried fenugreek taste bitter. By adding it in the final minute, we preserve its sweet, nutty fragrance—the defining characteristic of any authentic Lahori “Dhaba” dish.
