Method

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the coriander, cumin and turmeric for 3 minutes. Then remove from the heat.
  2. In another pan, heat the remaining oil over a medium-low heat. Cook the onion, pepper, chilli, tomato and garlic, stirring regularly until it forms a rough paste. Add the cooked spices and mix; then slowly mix in the milk. Bring to the boil, reduce the temperature and simmer for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the fish and cook for about 5 minutes, until the fish starts to flake. Serve with the noodles.

Prawns taste delicious in this recipe instead of some or all of the fish
