How To Make Thai Fish Curry
Thaw and Dry Make sure the fish is properly thawed and dried. Use either kitchen tissue paper once the fish is thawed to further dry it or a clean tissue towel/cloth.
Cut into squares: leave it on kitchen tissue paper to further dry for a few minutes.
Season the flour Add fish seasoning to the flour and coat the fish both sides. Taste for salt before adding.
Fry the fish in a large non stick pan until a light golden brown. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on your pan. Once fried, place the fish on clean kitchen paper to drain any excess oil. Repeat until all the fish is done.
Make the sauce Same pan. Give the pan a wipe down or rinse and reheat. Add the oil and cook the onions and garlic. Let the onions cook for a good couple of minutes before adding the garlic. You can mince the garlic or finely chop it. Either way cook the garlic with the onions followed by fish seasoning, curry paste, our natural and flavorful Oriental Spice, fresh lime juice, salt, coconut cream and leave to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
