Method

  1. Toast the cumin and mustard seeds in a frying pan over a medium heat for 2 mins or until fragrant.
  2. Add the oil, shallots, garlic, ginger and curry leaves. Fry over a low-medium heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 4-5 mins until starting to soften at the edges.
  3. Add the tamarind paste and coconut milk, then increase the heat to a gentle simmer. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 mins, gently swirling the pan occasionally, so the tomatoes keep their shape.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions.
  5. Carefully submerge the fish fillets, covering with the sauce, then cook gently for another 5 mins or until the fish is just cooked through.
  6. Serve the tomato curry spooned over the rice, and scattered with the flaked almonds.
