This is a stew which can be served with any

meal .

This stew is made with grilled/ fried fish and

coconut milk .

Good to serve with rice , stringhoppers ,rotis,

hoppers , bread….

When preparing fish like this, grilling or frying

lightly and then adding to curries , brings out a

lovely flavour .I want to share a tip with you

to get the exotic flavour of curries . Once you

have fried or grilled seafood like this reserve a

tbsp of the fried oil,and pour over the finished

curry . This gives a good flavour and colour to

the curries .
