Method
- Whizz the curry paste ingredients with 150ml water in a mini food processor (or pound to a paste in a pestle and mortar). Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry for 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the curry paste and brown crabmeat, then cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, half the lime juice, the sugar and fish sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the white crabmeat, prawns and cod.
- Simmer for 5-8 minutes until the seafood is cooked through; stir gently and occasionally to avoid breaking up the fish. Add the coriander and remaining lime juice to taste, then serve with steamed rice, if you like.
