This is best made of fish that has previously been fried. Put it in a saucepan with one small sliced onion, a couple of ounces of sliced green ginger, three or four cut green chilies or capsicums, and a little saffron or turmeric powder. Stir in the milk of half a coconut and the juice of a lemon. Keep over a fire for ten minutes.
