Notes

Tips

• If you prefer a milder curry, you can remove the seeds from the green chili pepper before chopping it.
• You can also add other vegetables to this curry, such as carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers.
• If you don't have coconut milk, you can use low-fat plain yogurt instead.
• Be sure to adjust the cooking time for the fish depending on the thickness of your fillets.
