Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

🔴Ensure you take the fish out of the freezer and allow to defrost fully before cooking. It is best practise to do this overnight, in a bowl, in the bottom of the fridge.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large, wide saucepan over a medium heat and add the onions. Cook for 5-10 mins until softened and starting to colour. Add the garlic and tomatoes, and fry for 2 mins. Add the curry paste, fry for 2 mins more, then pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

Step 3

Add the fish to the pan and simmer gently for 5-8 mins until just cooked through. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the coriander over the curry. Heat the rice according to the manufacturers instructions and serve with the curry.
