Serves
4
  • 1 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups diced sweet potatoes, about 2 medium sized ones
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped roughly
  • 3 cups fish stock
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 lb hake fillets, cubed
  • ½ cup shelled peas, thawed, if frozen
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tsp fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • salt and pepper
Methods/steps
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat. Cook the onion for 2-3 minutes, add then sweet potatoes, curry powder and cumin seeds and cook for a further 3-4 mintues, the onion should be soft by now.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the fish stock. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The sweet potato should be tender by now.
  4. Mix the cornstarch with a little water and stir gradually into the pan. It is time now to add fish and peas, cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes. The fish should be just cooked.
  5. Add lime juice and coriander, season, stirring very gently as hake flakes easily once cooked.
  6. To serve, place some curry onto a plate, top with 1 Tbs yogurt and accompany with plain basmati rice.
Additional Tips

If hake is not available, try any other white fish. Substitute hake with the same amount cod, pollock, red snapper, whiting, dogfish, rockfish, sea bass, tilefish or weakfish.
