KINGKLIP CURRY

- METHOD -

Peel the tomatoes by submerging them in boiling water for a minute – this allows the skins to slip off easily. Remove the pips so you only have the fleshy part of the tomato left and cut into even-sized small blocks. Fry the onion over low heat in the vegetable oil until it starts to soften – about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and Cape Herb & Spice Butter Chicken Exotic Spice and fry for a further minute. Then add the coconut milk, tomatoes and curry leaves. Turn the heat right down, place a lid on and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

Add the kingklip, cover and simmer until the fish is done, about another 10 minutes. While the fish cooks, steam the pak choi leaves. To dish up, place the pak choi in the bottom of deep pasta bowls. Spoon the fish on top and lavinshingly ladle over the curry sauce. Garnish with loads of fresh coriander and serve with steamy basmati rice and fresh lime wedges on the side.
