Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In a large pot, saut\u00e9 off the onions, garlic and ginger with the oil over a low heat. You don\u2019t want to brown the onion mix.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Now you will add the curry powder, star anise and bay leaves and cook this out. Add a little water to ensure that your spices don\u2019t burn. This will give it a bitter taste. (Allow about 2 minutes cooking time)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Then turn your attention to the fish. Coat the fish in the turmeric and add to the pot, give it a good stir so that all the ingredients are mixed well and the fish is coated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Add the water, vinegar and sugar and turn up the heat so the liquid starts to boil. Let it boil until the fish is cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Add salt to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Bottle the food when warm or keep in an airtight container until use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. If the mix is too watery for your liking you can add a mix of 2 Tbsp Corn flour and 3Tbsp water to the pot when the fish is fully cooked, but remember to stir it continuously to make sure that it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Enjoy with some fresh bread or crackers and enjoy! Happy Easter.<\/p>\n
