- 2 to 4 hot green peppers
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 2 tsp (10 mL) black mustard seeds (optional)
- 6 cloves
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated gingerroot (or 1 tsp/5 mL ground ginger)
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar
- 4 tomatoes (about 1 lb/500 g), peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 1 lb (500 g) catfish, tilapia or other fish fillets, cut into large chunks
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime or lemon juice

Preparation
In small bowl, mix curry powder, salt and cayenne with 3 tbsp (45 mL) water to make paste. Slice hot peppers lengthwise; seed and cut in half. Set aside.
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry mustard seeds (if using) and cloves until seeds begin to pop, about 10 seconds. Add ginger, garlic and onion; sauté until onion is golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add curry paste, hot peppers and sugar; fry, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and 3/4 cup (175 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes soften, 3 or 4 minutes. Add fish to skillet; cover and simmer until fish flakes easily, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in lime juice carefully, without breaking up fish. Transfer to serving dish; top with coriander.
Makes 4 servings.
