Looks very delicious and we too enjoy sardine curries in between the days.
if u dont mind sharing, how do you usually make yours?
My Bangla friend’s late father could only cook one thing – sardine curry. She made it for me once. Her version involves Thai green curry paste, onions, raw tomatoes, lime leaves, zest and juice (lemon in a pinch). The onions are sauteed lightly, the raw tomatoes are chopped and then the lime leaves and curry are added. All simmer together until juicy and luscious then the sardines join the party until they’re warmed through. Squeeze limes over everything.
wow.that sounds wonderful! im going to try that soon!:)
