Here’s a spicy creamy Thai yellow fish curry recipe that contains fresh prawns, sweet diced mango and crunchy zucchini… What a delicious Asian dinner we are having tonight!
Oh I love this.
It is leftovers time again!
I threw this fish curry together in just a couple of minutes to be very honest. Because we are going on a long trip to Brazil shortly. And from there we will be crossing the Atlantic ocean by ship.
Leftovers
At the end of our trip we will stay in the Canary Islands for a couple of weeks as well where we have a second home in the Spanish sun…
So needless to say that it is about time to start digging. And by that I mean whatever edible stuff there is still left in my freezer and fridge. It is also a good opportunity to give both of them a good clean as well.
Just so I can give those hard working machines a well deserved rest while we are gone.
Plus it also saves us electricity and money.
Creamy Fish Curry Recipe with Thai Yellow Curry
So let’s see what I can dig up here.
Half a package of Thai yellow curry paste. My search starts off well.
And then some frozen king prawns, bits of frozen pollock, half a fresh zucchini, half a ripe mango (at least what was left after making a spicy mango salsa with it yesterday) and a tin of creamy coconut milk.
I like the sound of these ingredients. And it seems like I am making a Thai yellow fish curry recipe for dinner tonight!
Grated Coconut
I added some grated coconut for texture, which is an optional of course but I highly recommend it! The subtle cooked prawns, fish and crunchy zucchini are a prefect match for the sweeter mango and coconut milk.
Just don’t make this fish curry too spicy though or you will not taste all those subtle flavors.
