Fish in homemade red curry Fish in homemade red curry
Several months ago I posted a recipe for green seafood curry. Today it's red's turn. To be honest, I actually prefer red curry to green. I love the extra kick of heat. The addition of sweet bell pepper gives this version a bit of additional freshness, almost like a fruitiness. As written below, this curry is pretty mild (so that my daughter could eat it). If you'd like more heat, just add extra Thai chilies. Also, feel free to play around with the veg. I used carrots and bok choy because they happened to be in my fridge. Robert Gonzal -
Singaporean Fish Head Curry Singaporean Fish Head Curry
#nonindian - This is a very popular Singaporean style Fish Head curry cooked in coconut milk, tamarind water and along with some veggies thrown in. It is best enjoyed with plain steamed rice. I had the privilege of tasting this delicacy at Muthu's restaurant, Singapore, where it has originated. There are a lot of versions to this dish. It is prepared with lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, chinese cabbage in the Chinese style and in the Malay version, prawn paste and galangal are added. But one thing is for sure, whatever way it is cooked it is just awesome. Bethica Das -

Fresh fish swirlling in a sea of coconut curry. True authentic Swahili dish I must say.I learnt this special dish from my mother the traditional way. A hot charcoal burner, that stone made pestle and mortar, the coconut grater you sit on.....they conjure memories of a lifetime. Delight your senses to the wonders of East African cooking which has origins of Arab, Indian and African elements combined. The fresh herbs and spices tingle and tantalise your taste buds into a frenzy. Riffat
