Fish and Tomato Curry

Submitted by JoyfulCook

"I remember eating fish curries in Bangladesh as a child. This is my version of one that I remember! Fish curries are always easy to prepare as the fish is usually put in toward the end. The subtle blend of spices is just perfect for any white fish. I often double the recipe and freeze half prior to adding the fish!"

Joy, I just tried this and it's amazing! I couldn't get coriander so I missed it out, but it still tasted wonderful, thanks for the recipe! I made it with cod and added mushrooms to the sauce (I needed to use them up) and served it with rice and green beans which went with it perfectly. I ended up with about 5 portions (probably because I added the mushrooms) which was great because it means 4 more healthy meals in the freezer. Thanks again for a great recipe, I think it's going to become one of my regulars at home!
