Tin Fish Curry

I NEVER liked pilchards. My friend Anba made tin fish curry for my partner as he is from KZN thinking it would be a treat for him. She made more than enough for the both of us with a side of pap. I figured I’d say I had it and say it was nice knowing very well I wouldn’t eat it. My partner then told me to try some and I ended up eating most of it 😅. From then on I decided I will learn how to make it.

Steps
- 1
First remove your fish from the can and clean them with a butter knife by removing the bones and guts and then gently scrape the skin off (the silver and black).
- 2
Heat your oil and add your whole spices and leaves on a medium heat for 2 minutes.
- 3
Add your onion and chilies till translucent.
- 4
Add your fine spices and a low to medium heat for 3 minutes. Do not burn them else your curry will be bitter.
- 5
Add your grated tomato and simmer for 10 minutes.
- 6
Add the pilchards sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Add a little bit of water if needed. Add salt to taste.
- 7
Once it has simmered down, add your coriander and boiled potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
- 8
Add your tin fish and stir very gently else your fish will completely break apart. Then add your eggs and do the same. Allow to cook for 5 minutes and you are all done 😋.
- 9
Serve with either rice, roti or my absolute favourite PAP 😍😋.
