Instructions

1. Mix the salt, lemon juice and turmeric powder, rub over the fish chunks and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Soak the dried chillies in 250ml of warm water for 15 minutes. Drain and keep the soaking water.
3. Blend the soaked chillies, coconut, crushed coriander seeds, chopped onion, crushed cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garlic, tamarind extract and two tablespoons of the reserved soaking water to a smooth paste.
4. Heat the oil in a shallow, wide pan and fry the sliced onion until soft, without browning. Add the spice paste and cook until golden brown, adding a splash of water if it starts to burn.
5. When aromatic, stir in the tomato purée and fresh chillies and cook for five more minutes.
6. Add water (or coconut milk, if preferred), bring to the boil and cook for a few more minutes.
7. Lower the heat, gently slide in the marinated fish with any juices and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the fish is soft.
8. Scatter over the chopped coriander to finish.
