A spicy-hot coconut flavoured fish dish.

Ingredients

2 medium onions

FAIRTRADE Sources
Rice
Herbs and Spices
Sugar
Brazil Nut Oil

Method

Preparation
Skin and chop the onions and garlic.
Trim the green chilli peppers and remove seeds.
(Take great care, chilli juice is dangerous to the eyes).
Cooking
Warm the oil and add the onions, garlic and green chilli peppers and fry for 5 to 10 minutes until the onion starts to go translucent.
Add the fish and heat through.
Add the bay leaf, coconut milk, chilli powder, and sugar. Plus a good pinch of salt.
Simmer until the sauce is nicely thickened.

To serve

Serve hot with rice.

Variation

Maldive fish is a Tuna fish preserve. If you can't get Maldive fish, use prawns instead.
The authentic recipe uses coconut oil, but FAIRTRADERS will want to use FAIRTRADE Brazil Nut Oil.
