- Over a medium to high heat, add tbsp of oil to a large, heavy-based saucepan and fry the onions until they soften. Stir in the spice mix and cook for a minute, then add the vinegar, tomato, garlic and ginger pastes. Stir frequently for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Next add the coconut milk, together with half a tin of water and the chilli. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Season to taste, then add the fish and cook for 5-10 minutes, until white and flaky. Ensure the fish is submerged in the sauce.
- Whilst the fish is cooking, make the pickle. Fry the mustard seeds on a high heat in a splash of oil until they pop. Mix into the lime zest, coriander, vinegar, honey and a pinch of salt.
- To serve, spoon the curry over steaming basmati rice, and top with the pickle. Sprinkle over a little coriander and finish with a squeeze of lime.
