Nothing inspired me... but let's say my mom inspired me cos she had cooked it on a few occasions. I just wanted to try cooking it for the first time for my family without getting assistance. I think it's best paired with rice, maybe because that's the only one I have tried it with? We'd find out.

Steps

45 min

1

Clean the fish and rinse thoroughly in clear water. Slice your onions and fresh pepper thinly, dice your veggies, and then set aside.
2

Add your fish cuts into a pot and season generously with your curry powder, two knorr cubes, salt, onions, and fresh and dry pepper.
3

Place in heat and let it steam for about 3-6 minutes. Drain out the fish broth and reserve in a bowl.
4

In a frying pan, heat up your cooking oil and gently drop in your steamed fish cuts to fry on medium to low heat. Note: This step is optional.
If you prefer it steamed, then move over to 5.
5

In a saucepan, heat up 2-3 cooking spoon of oil and go on to stirfry your veggies for about 3-5 minutes.
6

Add a pinch of salt and 1-2 tbsp of curry powder. Then, pour in your fish broth to boil and adjust your seasonings. Be generous but careful while adding curry.
7

If you feel the need to go in with more water, go ahead. But ensure to readjust your seasonings.
8

Cover and allow to boil for about 5-7 minutes.
While it's boiling, prepare your slurry in a cup (a light mixture of cornstarch and water). The more the cornstarch, the thicker your sauce as it cools down. Do you!
9

Add your fish at this point before introducing your slurry.
Be careful not to stir too much to prevent breaking the fish.
10

Cover for a minute, then bring it down from heat.
