Fish curry

One of the favorite dish we prepare in our kitchen is the chicken curry. But do you know that we can make a curry out of vegetables, fish, pork or beef? I happen to buy a fresh yellow fin tuna in the market so I decided to cook fish curry for lunch today. And to make it more healthy I added malunggay in my dish.

Ingredients:

1 kl. yellow fin tuna, sliced (you may use other fish like tilapia or cream dory)

2 Tbsp. ginger, finely chopped

1 onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 pcs. chilli pepper, chopped

2 pcs. lemongrass, sliced

2 Tbsp. curry powder

2 cups ( or more) coconut milk

1 Tbsp. patis (fish sauce)

salt & sugar, to taste

1 1/2 Tbsp (3 pcs.) calamansi juice

1 1/2 cup malunggay leaves

Here's how:

• Using your mortar and pestle, crush ginger, garlic, chilli pepper and lemon grass.
• Saute onion then add the ginger mixture. Add in the curry powder.
• Pour a cup of coconut milk and stir.
• Once it starts to boil, add in the tuna and season with patis and calamansi juice.
• Cover the pan and let it cook for 3 minutes or just until it boils.
• Stir lightly to avoid fish from sticking to the pan, then add the rest of the coconut milk.
• Season with salt and balance the taste with a little sugar ( approx. 1 level tsp.).
• Then lastly, add the malunggay leaves.
