Ingredients




50 grams Dried tamarind, chopped (and 150ml (¼pint) boili
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
2 1/2 Cm, (1inch) piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and grated

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
75 grams Creamed coconut, grated (3oz)

Preparation

1 If using dried tamarind, put it in a small bowl and cover with the boiling water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes. 2 Strain through a sieve, pressing through as much of the tamarind pulp as possible. 3 Lightly fry the garlic and spices, salt and onion in the oil for about 3 minutes until the onion has softened. 4 Stir in the tamarind pulp and liquid, or the tomatoes, and the coconut, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. 5 Lower the heat, add the fish to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked, stirring occasionally during cooking.
