Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 50g packet Gulai spice mix (see note 1)
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves, torn
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed, halved lengthways
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 400g can coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon palm sugar (see note 2)
  • 600g firm white fish fillets, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 300g okra
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add spice mix, lime leaves, lemongrass and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  2. Add coconut cream and palm sugar. Bring to a simmer. Add fish. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add okra and tamarind. Simmer for 2 minutes or until fish is cooked through and okra is tender. Remove and discard lemongrass and cinnamon stick. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Notes
Gulai is a Malaysian spice mix for curries, and is available in supermarkets.

You could use brown sugar instead of palm sugar. Serves 6 as part of a banquet.
