Coconut Fish Curry
This indulgent fish curry is full of gorgeous spices like fenugreek powder,
cumin and red chillies. Use whatever white fish you want, but we opted for cod.
We all use whole coconut milk as we love the flavour, but swap for reduced-fat
if you prefer.

In a pestle and mortar, grind together cardamom pod seeds, fennel seeds, cumin,
and coriander until they’re a fine powder.
In a heavy bottom casserole dish, heat 50ml vegetable oil. Add onion, garlic and
chilli. Cook for 10 min, until lightly coloured.
Add your spice mixture, turmeric, fenugreek and mustard seeds. Cook for a couple
mins until fragrant.
Add coconut milk, tomatoes, green beans and red pepper. Simmer for 10 min until
soft.
Add the fish and prawns to the reduced sauce and gently cook for 5 minutes until
the fish is cooked through.
Stir through the juice of one lime and the fresh coriander, check seasoning.
Serve with Jasmine rice.
With the back of knife, press down onto the cardamom pod, peel them open and you
can extract the black seeds out of them with the tip of your knife.
