This fish curry looks sooo yummy. Everything tastes good with coconut milk isnt it? But due to the high calorie content, I dont use it too often. I too always have frozen fish and shrimp in my pantry always, how to you defrost your seafood? I am always in a hurry, so i run it under cold water. -Swapna HI,

This dish is packed full of flavor and it's really good. I screwed up by forgetting to buy curry leaves when I went to the Indian store, but according to foodsubs.com I could use bay leaf instead. The only thing that I would've changed is seasoning the coconut curry mixture before you add the fish as a preventive measure against breaking it up. I made this same dish last night with chicken which I sauteed with the onion before adding the coconut milk. It turned out really really good. I added a dash of srirachi at the end for some added heat. Mmm... thanks for this recipe!! I'm going to try your shrimp recipe next!

I have so many lists, I even confuse myself sometimes. And same with the kitchen organization- My pantry is excellently stocked, as well as the fridge and the freezer. phew, glad to know I am not the only one and know someone that can relate. I haven't tried the recipe but the picture is wonderful. I can relate to you about the lists, the never ending lists. I have so many lists, I even confuse myself sometimes.

Adding these to this sorta curry soupy meals are absolutely great, so much better than some canned, bitter-like taste, oo..natural sweetness, yums ! :) Meena, you’re so lucky, I haven’t seen much good cherry tomatoes lately, I could just eat it as it is.

I have never used malaysisn curry powder, not even sure what brand or where to start looking for, ur info would be very much helpful to me & all others wondering. Thx Aruna.

Loved your recipe. I've some frozen shrimps, will that taste the same? <em>I'm sure it'll work with shrimps too Jyothsna; though if you're gonna be making shrimps, I'd personally suggest you try the Chili-Ginger shrimps in my previous post. I'm quite sure you'll enjoy that! :)</em> Hi Meena, I quite like reading the list bit since I’m a list person myself! Loved your recipe. I’ve some frozen shrimps, will that taste the same?

If so, do you use half of what's required in recipes? Thanks! <em>Hi GB, I usually use the dried ones myself, and don't really find much difference in taste.

I know exactly what you mean about meticulous pantry maintaining. I am obsessed with keeping stuff around, because I find it really encourages eating at home. When you don't have the right ingredients and cooking means a trip to the grocery before one can even start, the eating out option looks more attractive. Cheers!
