This is simple to put together and very flavorful. I used a full can of coconut milk and upped the other sauce ingredients because I prefer extra sauce. I served this over cooked rice. I also can't seem to find black mustard seeds, so I substituted the plain yellow ones; was tempted to toast them just in case that's what makes them black! Thanks, MickeyDownUnder, for a gourmet taste from afar! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap #71.
