Curry Coconut Fish Parcels
It’s amazing how versatile food is. How one basic dish like fish or beef or chicken can be made in 1000’s of different ways. How condiments that you use like honey or a curry paste can also be made in 100’s of ways. All you need is the interest and the time to do a little research or to just try and see what you can discover. Well that is how I came across this dish in one of the issues of GoodFood Magazine.
It uses three basic flavours
I put in some garlic and dhania(coriander) for extra flavor but also because I just love those two ingredients. This dish was fast to fix and it was super delicious. I hope you will love it as much as I did.
Ooh have you heard of the new Hello Food website? It’s amazing for those days when you really cannot be bothered to make even a meal as quick as this one.
