  • Cut the fish into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the fish will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat. This will prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish is very delicate and can easily become overcooked. It's better to err on the side of undercooking and then cook it a little more if necessary.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste. This will give the stew a lot of flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the stew. This will make it more nutritious and colorful.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with rice or naan bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
