Shake the pot around rather than mix with the spoon to prevent fish from breakingLet cook for approximately 20 minutes

INFO & TIPS
Tamarind sauce can be added like enough to change the colour of the curry..I used like 4 tbsp
Use to your tastebud
Curry cooks quite fast
I let it cook on low heat for the fish to cook and also for the curry not to dry out
