This fish curry is soooo easy to make; it literally takes 30 minutes to prepare and is packed with flavour.  I often make it when entertaining because of how simple it is, and it’s also great for a crowd… always a massive hit, and I get asked for the recipe every time I make it!

The flavours are quintessentially Thai with fish sauce, kaffir lime, red curry paste, lemongrass, and coconut milk; however, also a bit Indonesian with ground cumin and even curry powder.

You don’t necessarily need to use tilapia either. I have made it so many times in so many different ways with prawns, chicken, cod, and even vegetarian with tofu and veggies.  TRUST ME… try this one… you and your whole family will love it!!!
