===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| To make the [[Spice|spice]] mix, [[Dry roast|dry roast]] the dry spice mix [[Spices|spices]] in a pan until they start to smell lovely. Blitz them in a liquidizer with the [[Rest|rest]] of the spice mix ingredients. Set aside.
| To make the [[Sauce|sauce]], heat a [[Dessert|dessert]] spoon of [[Coconut|coconut]] or [[Ground nut|ground nut]] [[Oil|oil]] in a heavy bottomed [[Saucepan|saucepan]] and [[Fry|fry]] the chopped [[Shallots|shallots]] over a medium heat till they’re soft, and are starting to go golden.
| Add the [[Chilli powder|chilli powder]] and stir for a minute, then add the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and stir till they’ve disintegrated, and are starting to go quite dry.
| Turn the heat down low, and add the [[Spice|spice]] mix you’ve set aside, and cook slowly, stirring, till the [[Oil|oil]] is starting to separate from the mix.
| Add the [[Nage|nage]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] for a few minutes, then bring the heat back up and add the [[Coconut milk|coconut milk]] and simmer gently for five minutes.
| Season, and check the flavour; it should be quite fiery, with a sharp sweet/sour flavour.
| [[Sieve]] the [[Sauce|sauce]] into a bowl, clean the pan, discarding the remaining contents, and return the sauce to the pan. Keep warm.
| To cook the [[Fish|fish]], rub it with the [[Curry leaves|curry leaves]], [[Onion|onion]] [[Seeds|seeds]], [[Turmeric|turmeric]] and [[Salt|salt]] and leave for 10 minutes. Then heat a [[Dessert|dessert]] spoon of [[Coconut oil|coconut oil]] in a [[Frying pan|frying pan]] and add the fish, skin side down.
| [[Fry]] for about 2 minutes, so the skin is nice and crisp, then turn it over, take the heat down a bit, and cook for another 3 minutes.
| Meanwhile, put neat [[Pile|pile]]s of [[Rice|rice]] on two plates (we use those steel tower thingies, they’re open ended metal rings 7cm in diameter and 6cm tall), then place a piece of [[Fish|fish]] on each plate, add a neat pile of [[Spinach|spinach]], then pour a generous dollop of [[Sauce|sauce]] neatly around, and serve.
