Fish in coconut milk and tumeric

I have some left over coconut milk from making nasi lemak previously. So I decided to try to finish it up. Today for lunch, I tried making "Fish in coconut milk and tumeric". The recipe was picked up from a cooking show. It is rather easy to make and not spicy which is just right for serving up for a family with kids.

Ingredient
3 slices of Mackerel, ikan tengiri or any white fish
1 tomato cut into wedges
3 tbsp of packet coconut milk diluted with 1 cup of water
3 tbsp thick coconut milk
Half onion sliced
2 slices of ginger julienned
1 green chilli julienned
1 garlic chopped
1 small stalk curry leaves
2 tsp salt
2 tsp tumeric powder
2 tbsp oil/ghee

Method
1. Marinade fish with 1 tsp tumeric powder, 1 tsp salt, some chopped garlic and leave aside for 10mins.

2. Heat oil and fry onion, ginger, chilli, garlic and curry leaves.

3. Add diluted coconut milk and 1 tsp of tumeric powder and bring to a boil. Add fish and lower heat and cook for 10 mins.

4. When the fish is ready, add tomato and 1 tsp of salt.

5. Cook for another 3 mins and add thick coconut milk. Switch off the fire after another 2 mins.
