An authentic Bengali [[Seafood|seafood]] [[Curry|curry]]. It could be made entirely with prawns but in this version I'm using a mixture of [[king prawns]] and [[cod fillet]]. Any white fish would do.

This is a fairly quick [[Curry|curry]], nice and creamy with lots of [[Coconut|coconut]] flavours. As with all authentic [[Indian curries]] there are lots of whole [[Spices|spices]] that you are not supposed to eat. Pick them out as you eat. You'll get a surprise if you bite down on a [[Cardamom|cardamom]] pod or a [[Clove|clove]]!
