For this curry recipe, I’ve used a Sri Lankan fish paste, not widely available, but many specialist stores stock this kind of product. The internet is also a good place to buy these hard-to-find ingredients. If you can’t find it you can use a red curry paste instead, which most stores will stock. Adjust the amount of paste to suit you taste and chilli tolerance.
I love this recipe because it’s so straight forward and quick to make. Cook some rice in coconut milk instead of water or grate in some coconut block after the rice is cooked.
