Today I am thinking of fish curry which is completely different. I didn't want to make the usual curry, but did want to try some different ingredients which are similar in taste, so I replaced coconut with yogurt and fenugreek powder with Dijon Mustard. Guess what, it tasted so good and game me a heads up for trying this new recipe. So thought of sharing it with you all, try and let me know how you liked it.
