This isn't really curry but it does use curry powder and makes a lovely evening meal. It came out of the BBC's Olive magazine.

Spiced Haddock with Bombay Potatoes

Ingredients
Haddock, 2 thick fillets
Curry powder, 2 teaspoons
Groundnut oil
Turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon
Coriander, a handful of leaves
Lemon wedges to serve

Bombay potatoes
Potatoes, 2 large peeled and diced ( about 500g in total)
Sunflower oil
Shallots, 2 chopped
Cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon
Cherry tomatoes, 100g

Method
Boil the potatoes in salted water until almost cooked but with a bit of bite ( they'll get cooked a bit more later). Drain well.

Put the haddock in a dish. Mix the curry powder with 1 tablespoon of groundnut oil and the turmeric and a good pinch of salt. Rub all over the fish and leave for 10 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a non- stick frying pan. Cook the shallots gently until soft. Add the cumin and mustard and cook until fragrant. Tip in the turmeric and potatoes. Toss and cook until the potatoes heated through and take on the spice flavours.
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they start to break down. Season with salt.

Grill the haddock until just cooked through. Stir half the coriander through the potatoes. Divide the potatoes between two plates, place the haddock on top then sprinkle over the remaining coriander. Serve with lemon wedges.
