Kadai Fish Curry in Calgary

Loved by guests across Northwest Calgary

Kadai Fish is our answer for guests who want a curry with real backbone. Fish is simmered in a hand-pounded kadai masala – coriander seed and dried red chilli crushed to order – with onion, tomato, capsicum and julienned ginger, and it reaches the table bubbling in the iron kadai it was cooked in.

About Our Kadai Fish

A kadai is the deep iron wok that gives this dish its name and its character. Cooked fast over high heat, the masala clings to the fish instead of drowning it, so you taste the spice and the seafood rather than cream.

The masala is the whole story: coriander seed and dried Kashmiri chilli pounded coarsely just before service, bloomed in oil with ginger and garlic, then built out with onion, tomato and sweet peppers. It is one of the most distinctive fish curries available in Northwest Calgary.

Kadai Fish FAQs

Common questions about our kadai fish, ordering and delivery across Northwest Calgary.

About the Dish & Ordering

A kadai is a deep iron wok used across North India. Dishes cooked in it are seared quickly over high heat with a coarsely ground coriander-and-chilli masala, which is what gives kadai fish its characteristic thick, clinging gravy.

It is our boldest fish dish, sitting at medium-hot. We are happy to prepare it milder – simply ask when you order online or over the phone.

A standard fish curry has a thinner, saucier gravy. Kadai fish uses a freshly pounded whole-spice masala with peppers and onions, giving a drier, more textured result served in the cooking vessel.
