Categories     Curries

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

300 -350 g firm white fish fillets, cut into pieces (I used halibut, but cod, perch, bass any are fine.)
8 scallops (allows for 2 per person.)
12 squid rings (allows for 3 per person.)
12 -16 prawns, shelled, deveined (3-4 per person I buy medium to largish size prawns.)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons gingerroot, grated
3/4 teaspoon turmeric, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander, ground
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek (I heap my spoonfuls, but adjust for desired taste.)
400 ml coconut cream (I use Kara brand I really like the flavour.)
1 teaspoon sugar
50 ml pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pan, add onion, garlic and ginger, cook until onion softens.
  • Stir in spices, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick and sambal oelek, stir until fragrant.
  • Add coconut cream, stir until well combined.
  • NOTE: The kara brand is quite a thick coconut cream, if my sauce thickens up to much I add a little extra light cream or milk. I haven't mentioned, adding cornflour to thicken for this reason, but I also know some brands can be quite watery, so you may want to thicken some more, if this is the case.
  • Add sugar and juice, stir until mixed.
  • Add all the seafood and cook covered about 5-10 Min's or until seafood is cooked through. Cooking times will vary according to what seafood you choose to use in this, so I can't give you an exact time.
  • I served mine over sweet potato mash, but it is also good over rice as well.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste

12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
