This particular fish curry is different to the other curries that I have made. This particular curry has an oriental flavour due to sweetness of the coconut and tangy kaffir leaves.
In addition to this, there are many filling vegetables such as aubergine and sweet potato. If you wanted a completely vegetarian dish and you can just omit the fish.
