- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 pieces green chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
- 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (optional, for extra heat)

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped

Instructions
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and red chili powder (if using). Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Add water if the curry is too thick.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt to taste.
Carefully add the fish pieces to the pan, ensuring they're fully submerged in the sauce. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
Add lime juice and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh coriander (cilantro) and serve hot with steamed rice or gluten-free flatbread.
