"Tamarind is a tropical fruit that, when turned into a puree, has a sour tangy flavour that is an incredible addition to a rich curry. Originally brought over by Indian labourers in the 18th century, the ingredient quickly spread into Cape Malay cuisine. Here, it’s the backing track to a rich tomato-based curry sauce in which the fish is poached. A final fluttering of coconut cream softens the intensity a bit and really balances out the flavours." – Warren Mendes.
