Cari Poisson

Method

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot and add the mustard and cumin seeds, allowing them to crackle for 30 seconds. Add finely chopped onions and cook until soft and golden, then add minced garlic, ginger, and chopped chillies, stirring continuously for 2 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, cooking gently for 1 minute to release the spices. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes before pouring in the coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt to taste, then carefully add the fish fillets and poach gently for 8-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or bread.
