Servings: persons

2 garlic cloves
2 red chillis
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
1/2 bunch coriander, with stalks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
750 milliliters coconut milk
800 grams fish fillets, cut in serving-size portions - a thick firm fish would work best
2-3 spring onions

1
In a pestle and mortar, bash together the garlic cloves, chillis, ginger and coriander stalks until they form a thick paste.
2
In a big pot, heat the vegetable oil and start sauteing the onions until translucent. Add the sliced red peppers. After around 1 minute, add the garlic, chilli, ginger and coriander paste and saute for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, salt, pepper and the fish sauce and stir until the coconut milk is heated through.
3
Add the fish fillets to the sauce, by distributing them in the pot so that they are all covered in the sauce. Bring them to a boil and simmer with the lid on until the fish is cooked through, around 10-15 minutes. You can check a thick piece of fish to make sure.
4
Finish the dish with sliced spring onions and coriander leaves. Make sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
5
Serve with a side of rice, which you can top with toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor and crunchiness.
