Thai Fish Curry

Submitted by Chef #1803501669

"Coriander and ginger are two of my favourite flavours, and so Thai food is one of my favourite cuisines. This curry is one of my own making, so true Thai food masters will frown on it, but I love it. It's sweet, spicy, salty and sour, and warms you up after a long, cold day. I love cooking with fish, too, because it is so quick to cook and so this recipe is perfect when you want something packed full of flavour but quick and easy to make. This curry will serve 4 (we're having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow), but if you're cooking for 4 you'll need to double the amount of rice. This takes 20 minutes to cook.
