Spicy Fish Curry



During my visit to Kulhudhufushi I stayed with my aunt, my father's youngest sister. Like me she has two boys both now grown up and are so sweet to their parents,  despite their wild hairstyles (LOL), .  My aunt made this curry for dinner once, I have it tweaked it a little.


Recipe : Spicy Dried Fish Curry

300g tuna  or any other firm fish cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2- 1 tsp red chilli powder ( that's ground dried red chillies,)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 red onion or  2 small onions, sliced
6 cloves garlic, grated
1" ginger, grated
salt
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
3-4 tbsp tomato sauce/ketchup
8 curry leaves
3" pandan leaf, cut into large pieces
1/4 scotch bonnet, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp sugar ( optional)
3/4 cup water

3. Add marinated fish, along with light and dark soy, tomato sauce and scotch bonnet. Pour 1/2 cup water, place back over medium heat and cook lid on. Stir occasionally, and cook for about 15 minutes.
