YELLOW FISH CURRY

Yellow Fish Curry

With the weather cooling down, I’m always craving comfort foods. For some this means stews and soups, which I also love but one dish I’ve been making repeatedly this year is yellow curry using Malaysian curry paste. The recipe is simple, quick and can be adapted for chicken or fish. So far, The Hubby and I have already made two batches and both turned out delicious. With lots of potatoes, the curry is perfect for lunch and freezes well for future meals! (I still have one portion of chicken curry waiting for me in our freezer now).
