Malaysian curry paste is the secret to this quick curry. The fragrant blend of coriander, cumin, fennel, black pepper, chillies, turmeric, galangal, garlic and shallots packs a punch and can be used to make a quick fish curry by mixing it with coconut milk and simmering with chunks of any firm white fish

1

Lightly toast the whole dry spices in a frying pan. Leave to cool, then grind to a powder along with the turmeric.

2

Peel the galangal, garlic and shallots. Then, in a food processor or using a hand blender, blitz them together with a splash of water to form a purée.

3

Mix the dry masala with the fresh purée to form the curry paste.

4

Heat the oil in a large pot. Fry the fish for 5 minutes per side and remove from the pan. Add the curry paste to the pan and toast over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Gently add the fish fillets and simmer for 10 minutes.

5

Serve with curry leaves (fresh or dried), roti and lime wedges.
