Serving suggestions
Serve with cashew nut pilau rice, naan bread or any other Indian flatbread.
Variations
Try this with swordfish steaks. Substitute fresh tomatoes for tinned if desired, but they must be well ripened. Also add other vegetables of your choice.
Chef's notes
Use your common sense as to how hot you wish this curry to be. Just add the chilli powder and the bird's eye chilli paste a little at a time and keep tasting. Remember that as the liquid evaporates, the more concentrated the heat will be. The garlic quantity may seem excessive, but it isn't, honestly!
