# Malaysian Fish Curry

**Serves 4 · Ready in 25 min**

> Mike makes Malaysian Fish Curry in 25 minutes, building big flavour fast with onion, capsicum, garlic and ginger cooked down with Malaysian curry paste. Coconut milk and stock create a rich, fragrant sauce balanced with soy, fish sauce and a touch of brown sugar, then snapper pieces gently simmer until just cooked and tender. Add tomato and green beans for freshness, finish with a squeeze of lime and coriander, then serve hot with golden crisp roti for scooping.

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the onion, capsicum, garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
