Salmon Fish Head Curry

One dish meal.......curry again....Salmon Fish Head Curry, added a fillet piece for the Meat Eater. He walked into the kitchen and asked why the curry  smells so good today. I pointed to  the Screwpine leaves knotted together simmering in the hot spicy coconut milk. That's the reason why it is so fragrant.  He is one happy man now that I am back as a full time home Chef. Tonight's dinner is just this Fish Head Curry and I know I have to cook extra rice . Curries are appetising dishes no matter how you cook them. Dry curries are also delicious but I have yet to master it. So for now, it is just wet curries for now.

the addition of Screwpine leaves to the curry enhanced the flavour and aroma

I added a fillet piece for the husband

the salmon head and fillet piece were fresh
