Meal In A Jiffy

Coming home late-ish from work, one just doesn't have the energy to whip something complicated. But witha few store cupboard essentials, one dish is ready to serve, with enough leftovers for tomorrow's brekkie!

Sardine Curry


  1. Chop up onion, garlic and ginger finely. Saute in oil till softened.
  2. Add in a piece of cinnamon, cardamom, coriander seed and star anise. Fry till fragrant.
  3. Add in a paste of fish curry powder mixed with water. Stir fry till it becomes uber fragrant.
  4. Add in water. Let the whole pot simmer.
  5. Add in tinned sardines sans the tomato paste.
  6. Add in some tamarind pulp.
  7. Season with salt.
  8. When all merrily simmering, add in some coconut milk.
  9. Dish up and serve.
Rice one night, then with instant prathas the next day.
Jadilah.
