Cheering up the weather!

Neil tried a new recipe last night - South Indian fish curry - it was delicious.

1 onion, sliced into wedges
2 tbsps sunflower oil
1 red pepper sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves sliced thinly
1 tsp black/brown mustard seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp grated root ginger
400 ml can coconut milk
6 fl oz water
1lb any firm white fish fillet, cut into chunks
fresh coriander & lime for garnish if liked

Fry onion in oil until just golden, add red pepper, garlic cloves & mustard seeds & fry for 2-3 more minutes.
Add coriander, turmeric, chilli powder & root ginger & stir-fry one minute.
Add coconut milk and water & simmer for 8-10 mins.
Season, add fish & simmer gently, covered, for 4-5 mins.

Garnish with fresh coriander and lime wedges and serve with basmati rice. (We happened to have some cherry tomatoes in the fridge and they went in too - very nice.)
Just what we need at the moment. Will definitely try this! Probably quite soon!

@tishpics It was very good - I don't really like eating Indian when we are out but the recipes Neil makes at home are much milder, more like Thai recipes.

@tishpics You do realise that you can copy and past the info from here? (I've kept all the posts from my dad's diaries.)

@quietpurplehaze That's useful - thank you again!

Ooh Hazel this looks lovely and you've now provided me with yet another recipe. I have bought the ground rice ready to make the cake but haven't had time to do it yet but perhaps nearer the weekend I might find the time. Now I've got another recipe to try - thanks

@rosiekind Rosie, I hope you'll enjoy both these! I'm still avidly wren-watching!
