ingredients
- 6 ounces piece of boneless salmon or 6 ounces a firm flaky white fish
- curry leaf
- 1 piece pandan leaf
- 6 cm ginger
- 2 cm turmeric, fresh or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 small red pepper (capsicum)
- 1 red onion, cut into rings (medium size)
- 1 cayenne, chili for heat
- salt
- pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 1⁄2 cups coconut milk
- 1 lime
directions
- Ensure the fish is dry. Wipe with kitchen napkins. Salt and pepper each side of the fish with a sprinkle of each.
- Heat the oil in the pan on high heat until smoking.
- Put the fish in the pan and sizzle until it browns a little on each side. Chuck in the curry leaves as well. Make sure you don’t cook the fish through. 30 secs should be enough. Plate.
- Turn the fire down and saute the garlic, ginger, onions, turmeric, pandan leaf, chilli until fragrant. Put in the coconut milk or the milk/healthier option and throw in the capsicum and if using, the egg plant, and french beans.
- Cover and stew until the milk reduces a bit and egg plant and french beans are cooked.
- Put in the fish and curry leaves and baste then warm through.
- Squeeze in the lime juice. The sour shouldn’t dominate but should calm the sweetness of the coconut milk and pandan leaf.
- Serve with HOT rice.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together.
Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
