Tips
You can substitute the on-the-vine tomatoes for a tin of chopped tomatoes. I recently discovered that substituting the curry powder for garam masala works wonderfully. To make it veggie, substitute a tin of chickpeas for the fish.

- The basic sauce is ready when the oil seperates from the rest of the ingredients.
- Once the sauce is ready you can use it how you wish, some ways I've used it are:
- * stir in some lentils, add water and simmer to make dhal
- * add coconut milk/water/yoghurt then chicken (or other meat of choice) and simmer until the meat is cooked
Tips
How sour you want your fish curry to be - lessen or increase the amount of tamarind paste by half a teaspoon. Use dried red chillies and dark brown sugar for a richer colour. :) Make your curry slightly saltier if you are eating it with plain rice. Kaffirlime leaves are not to be eaten. You might want to discard them before serving.
