Coconut Fish Curry

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with this simple Indonesian inspired fish curry. The sauce is everything! Garlic, ginger and spring onions sauteed gently with Nomu Indian curry blend & turmeric. It all comes together with coconut cream, a dash of fish sauce and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. The fish (I use hake) is then lovingly poached in this amazing sauce together with blanched green beans and loads of fresh coriander. Because of all the saucy goodness, I included brown rice and for some fresh vibes, pickled julienne carrots and cucumber ribbons. Such a happy little dish. Enjoy! x
