Ingredients:
Thai Curry sauce
 * 1/2 cup fresh coriander stems and leaves, chopped
 * 1 can good-quality coconut milk
 * 4 green onions, sliced (including green stem)
 * 1 thumb-size piece galangal or ginger, grated
 * 4 cloves garlic
 * 2 Tbsp. fish sauce (available at Asian food stores)
 * 1 Tbsp. regular chili powder (use only 1 tsp. if using Thai or East Indian chili powder)
 * 2 tsp. ground cumin
 * 2 tsp. ground coriander
 * 2 tsp. brown sugar (or more to taste)
 * 1/2 tsp. turmeric
 * 1 tsp. shrimp paste
 * 1 fresh red chili, minced, OR 1/2 tsp. cayenne OR dried crushed chili, OR 1-2 tsp.chili sauce

curry ingredients:
 * 3-4 fillets of fresh or frozen fish - any type, from sole to salmon
 * Handful fresh mushrooms, sliced
 * 1 red bell pepper, de-seeded and diced
 * 1 medium tomato, cut into small pieces
 * Handful of fresh basil
 * Handful of fresh coriander
 * Fresh lime or lemon wedges for garnish
 * Optional: 2-3 kaffir lime leaves, left whole (available at Asian stores, usually in the freezer)

Method:

 * 1) Place all 'Thai Curry Sauce' ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender. Process well to form a smooth curry sauce.
 * 2) Pour the sauce into a wok (or large frying pan) and place over medium to high heat. If you have kaffir lime leaves, add them too. Bring to a boil.
 * 3) Add fish, mushrooms, and red pepper. Stir well. Reduce heat to medium-high, or until it is simmering nicely. Cover and cook 6-8 minutes.
 * 4) Add the tomatoes and gently stir in. Continue simmering (covered) for another 2-3 minutes.
 * 5) Do a taste test for salt and sweetness, adding more fish sauce (instead of salt) until salty enough. If too sour for your taste, add a little more sugar. If too salty or sweet, add 1-2 Tbsp. fresh lime (or lemon) juice.
 * 6) Spoon the fish with curry sauce and vegetables onto a serving platter or into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with fresh basil and coriander. Garnish with lime or lemon wedges and serve hot with rice. Enjoy!
