FISH AND TOMATO CURRY



Fish and Tomato Curry image

I remember eating fish curries in Bangladesh as a child. This is my version of one that I remember! Fish curries are always easy to prepare as the fish is usually put in toward the end. The subtle blend of spices is just perfect for any white fish. I often double the recipe and freeze half prior to adding the fish!
