    Kashmiri Gaadh

    Jump to Recipe

    Kashmiri Gaadh or Kashir Gaadh is a delicious fish curry from the exotic Kashmiri cuisine. 

    This dish is very popular in Kashmir and my research tells me that this dish is made during festivals and special events and celebrations in the family. So full of the flavor of exquisite (though readily available) spices. marinated fish pieced are lightly fried and simmered in a flavorsome, aromatic gravy.

    Kashmiri Gaadh is a MUST try recipe for fish lovers.

    lets get cookin' 🙂

    Kashmiri Gaadh served with rice and cucumber slices.

    inspiration for the recipe

    I came across this wonderful book - India: A Culinary Journey by Prem Souri Kishore  in our local library and was fascinated by the recipes and the stories told in the book.

    And I decided to try the recipe for Kashimiri Gaadh from the book and we loved it!

    After that it has featured in my weekly menu very prominently.

    what fish can i use to make Kashmiri gaadh?

    The original recipe suggests using Mahi Mahi, but I have tried it using Sea Bass as well. Though the curry tastes better with Mahi Mahi, Sea Bass works well too.

    I love the recipe because it comes together so quickly and does not involve any complicated process or steps at all. with simple ingredients and spices, you can make this in no time.

    additional notes

    • Kashmiri Gaadh is a simple fish curry from the Kashmiri cuisine and uses a combination of spices to create a sensory explosion :). Try to use all fresh spices to get the maximum flavors possible.
    • The original recipe does not use Tamarind in the recipe, but I love the slight tanginess in dishes, so I use it every time I make this fish curry. You could support your local Indian grocery store and buy from them.
    • I use a combination of Paprika and Cayenne to get the deep lovely red color and heat to the dish. Adjust the spices to suit your taste. If you don't have access to paprika and /or Cayenne, use Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder or any other ground red chilli (Please note that "Chilli Powder in Indian Cuisine just means ground dried red chillies [with no other spices added to the mixture] ).
    • Hing or asafoetida is a pungent smelling spice used in Indian cooking. If you are following a gluten-free diet, use the hing in the unprocessed or rock form. The powdered variety available in the market has wheat powder mixed, so it is not entirely gluten-free. (Also, available at your local Indian grocers). Or skip it altogether.
    • One change I made from the original recipe is to add a little tamarind as the souring agent.
    • Leftovers can be saved in the refrigerator and reheated.
    • I usually serve it with steamed rice.
