Malaysian fish curry

This delicious, Malaysian-style fish curry is delicious and better still, easy. Serve with steamed rice, a simple salad and perhaps even a side of roti!

Serves: Two

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a large, lidded and preferably non-stick pan, then add the onion and garlic and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown.
  2. Stir in the chopped or grated ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
  3. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring continuously for another minute, then add the tomato paste, 1/2 cup of water, the coconut cream and salt to taste. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Allow the sauce to come to the boil while you cut the fish into 2-3cm cubes.
  5. Gently stir the fish into the sauce, then cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through, adding the extra 1/4 cup of water if the mixture looks too dry.
  6. Sprinkle in the coriander, reserving a little for garnishing, then serve over steamed rice, accompanied with roti (or naan) and a simple salad.
