We really liked this. I didn't have a thai red pepper so I substituted about 1/2 tsp. of Thai Red Curry paste. It was not at all spicy. I served the fish over rice. I used Swai, a mild white fish similar to Tilapia. -
My family and I love this fish! It's sooo easy to make! I'm not a chef, but the way the simple flavors come together, my husband was surprised! -
Great recipe, and very easy to make. Tastes fresh and light and creamy, with a greater depth of flavour than I expected from the simple ingredients list. I de-seeded and sliced the chilli, and used dried Kaffir lime leaves because I couldn't get any fresh ones (not sure what sort was needed). We then served the finished dish with a rather un-Thai Basmati rice and with green salad leaves. We loved it and will be making it again. It would be a very quick and easy dish for entertaining.

So easy to make with absolutely gorgeous aroma & flavor. I used tilapia fillets & jasmine rice. Thanks Halalmom

I am married with an arab husband and we are a muslim family, so you will not find any pork or alcohol in my recipes. But I am quite sure, they are worth a try, as soon as I wil find the time to post them ;-)
