    Description

    Easy to make, and delicious, this curry can use up just about any firm fish. Don't be afraid of adding a few fresh mussels if you have them.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • thumb-sized piece ginger, finely grated
    • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 tsp shrimp paste
    • 1 small red chilli, shredded, or ½ tsp chilli powder
    • 2 lemon grass stalks, split, & bruised with a rolling pin
    • 1 heaped tablespoon medium curry powder
    • 1 heaped tablespoon light muscovado sugar
    • small bunch coriander, stems finely chopped
    • 400 g can coconut milk
    • 450 g skinless hake fillets, cut into rectangles
    • 220 g pack frozen raw whole prawns
    • 1 lime, halved
    • cooked rice, to serve

    Instructions

    1. Heat the oil in a wide, lidded frying pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Increase the heat a little, stir in the ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, chilli and lemon grass, and cook for 2 mins.
    2. Add the curry powder and sugar, and keep stirring. When the sugar starts to melt and everything starts to clump together, add the coriander stems, coconut milk and 2 tablespoon water, then bring to a simmer.
    3. Add the fish to the sauce, tuck the prawns in here and there, then squeeze over half the lime. Pop on the lid and simmer for 5 mins more or until the hake is just cooked and flaking, and the prawns are pink through.
    4. Taste for seasoning, adding a squeeze more lime to the sauce if you like. Scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with rice.
