Fish curry made! Not the world's best pic but definitely a better outcome than the dal makhani disappointment. I'm almost done using my very old fish curry powder. One more round in the next couple of months and I'll be done.

Eggplant, green beans, tomato paste, tamarind paste, coconut milk, coriander leaves and all the other usual things 😋

coriander leaves

One of us, one of us!

Looks great :)

Thanks! Oh you bet I'm definitely on the pro coriander train. Soap tongues lost the genetic lottery and can't impose their misery on the rest of us

in total awe of your skillz

I'm just not confidant enough to cook with fish other than simple frying

Oh, this barely involved any fish skills. I just defrosted the fillets and slid them in at the end and let it cook for 5 mins...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what kind of fillets , did you chop them at all?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Cheap and nasty hoki fillets. I just chopped them into very rough pieces once defrosted. No idea if I was even cutting them the right way Then slid them in, right off the chopping board. Once in the curry you try not to stir it around too much as they flake into pieces pretty easily. Definitely tasting a lot better after sitting around a bit and soaking up the flavours
