Fish curry in coconut paste

This a typical south Indian Fish curry, very flavourful and perfect with rice.
My hus and I love it and need I say more....Its a dish I prepare anytime I have fish at home.
Can be prepared with any kind of fish preferable fleshy fish, I use Tilapia, Catfish , Mackerel or Salmon. I've used Salmon for this recipe.
