SPICY FISH CURRY



Spicy Fish Curry image

From Leith's Cookery Bible - at last I found the fish curry I like - any firm white fish will do for this curry. Be very careful not to overcook the fish as it will begin to fall apart and look unattractive. It is a fairly mild curry but it can be made hotter by using an extra green chilli. Remove the seeds of the green chilli under cold running water.
