Green Fish Curry with Coconut Milk and Bramley Apples

Recipe Description

"Thai food is not really my bag; to cook that is, as I do like to eat it occasionally. I find it lighter and tastier than Chinese and more subtle than Indian food. This dish is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner served only with boiled basmati rice. You can add more or less curry paste depending on how hot you like your curry. The apple offsets the richness of the coconut milk and works really well." Phil Vickery

  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 4 small shallots, very finely chopped
  • 1 tsp superfine sugar|caster sugar
  • 2 level tsp green curry paste|green Thai curry paste
  • 1 tsp tamarind paste
  • 2 medium Bramley apples, peeled, cored and chopped very finely

Directions

  1. Pour the coconut milk into a large frying pan, add the shallots, sugar, curry paste (add a bit extra if you like it hot!) tamarind paste, apple and season well and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 minutes.
