Instructions

1. Rub the salt, lemon juice and turmeric powder over the fish chunks and leave them to marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Soak the dried chillies in 250ml of warm water for 15 minutes, then drain and keep 2 tablespoons of the soaking water.
3. Blend the soaked chillies, coconut, crushed coriander seeds, chopped onion, crushed cumin seeds, turmeric, garlic, tamarind extract and the reserved water into a smooth paste.
4. Heat the oil in a shallow, wide pan and soften the sliced onion without browning it. Add the spice paste and fry until golden brown, adding a splash of water if it starts to burn.
5. Stir in the tomato purée and fresh slit chillies and cook for 5 more minutes.
6. Add water (or coconut milk if you prefer), bring to the boil and cook for a few minutes more.
7. Lower the heat, add the marinated fish with its juices and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the fish is soft.
8. Scatter over the chopped coriander to serve.
