1" piece Ginger peeled and cut into small, thin slices
2 nos Garlic pods peeled and cut into small, very thin slices, large
350 gm Tomato 12 oz) (peeled and halved
1 no Fresh red chilly de-seeded and sliced as finely as possible) o

4 - Cardamom pods roughly crushed, Elakka
400 ml Tinned coconut milk 14 fl oz
Sea salt As reqd
2 lime Lime juice
Fresh mint leaves(chopped) A handful, Pudhina

Instructions

Put the fish steaks in a fairly shallow ovenproof dish with a lid, into which they fit quite closely.
Scatter the ginger, garlic, tomato, chilly and yellow pepper over and around the fish and the cardamom pods in between.
Empty the coconut milk into a separate bowl.
Add a good sprinkling of sea salt and gradually stir in the lime juice.
Pour the mixture gently over and around the fish and cover the dish.
Preheat the oven to 50C/300F/Gas 2.
Put the dish on the centre shelf and cook for 40 - 50 mins, until the fish is lightly done.
:- To discover this, insert a small, sharp knife into the centre of one of the steaks. If the flesh is slightly darker pink in the centre, it will be perfectly cooked.
Remove from the oven.
Before serving, scatter the mint leaves on top.
