Curry cod and lime

Curry…

Originated from India, its now known worldwide and loved by all.

I make curry very often, as it’s one of my favourite comfort food and its so easy… You just need vegetables (depends on the season) a few spices, chicken or lamb if you like it meaty, lemongrass sometimes, lime, most of the time coconut milk and you can play with it;

This one is a recipe from my friend Leslie who lives in San Francisco. With fish, coconut milk, lime….And its so good !!!
