Fish and Mango Curry

I had never tasted fish in a curry before, until I went touring around Thailand. Once, I tried a fish curry for breakfast while I was there and it was absolutely beautiful. Since then, I have tried a lot of fish dishes from Asia.

This dish includes fish and mango in a delicious recipe that provides a little spice and sweetness with a light fish aroma. If you have not tried fish in a curry before then I recommend you try this dish to start. It is not very hot, has a few spices in there and is easy to cook.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons of garlic and ginger paste. See this recipe for details. 
  • 2 fillets or about 400g of white fish such as cod
  • 2 teaspoons of tumeric
