Prepare the Thai Green Curry Paste
Add all the rougher ingredients to the blender and blend first
Then add all the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth
Set aside
Prepare the fish
Mix the flours, salt and Thai 7 spice together
Preheat a wok with oir or a deep fat fryer for frying
Make sure the fish is patted dry with kitchen rolls. Season the Fish with a bit of Thai 7 Spice first (rub all over)
When the oil is almost hot enough roll the fish in the seasoned flour and pat to shake off the excess flour
Fry for 5-10 minutes or until the fish is golden and cooked. The length of cooking depends on the tickness of the fish fillet you have (dont overcook!)

Add 2 tbsp Green Curry Paste and fry for 30 seconds
Add the coconut milk, stock, fish sauce and vegetables
Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked
Taste for seasoning and add more lime/sugar as required
Assemble
Either serve the fish on top of the curry or spoon the curry on top of the fish
Garnish with fresh coriander and red chillies. We served ours with Thai Jasmine Rice and Boiled Samphire
