Coconut Fish Curry
Serves: 2
**Why it is good for you: **
Traditional curries can often leave you feeling tired and sluggish. We've swapped the darker meats for white fish or chickpeas and swapped coconut cream for coconut milk, for a fresh feel on a usually heavy dish. The blend of exotic spices stay consistent with traditional flavors.
We encourage you to make your curry pastes from scratch as most store-bought curry pastes, although temptingly convenient, contain artificial additives, sugar, salt and processed oils.
