Salmon Tandoori Stir Fry

I used to think that Tandoori paste is used for marinating chicken in. Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food  changed my thinking forever. It has so many quick and do-able recipes that even the hubby could use (hint!). I was also happy to know that one of my favourite brand of curry paste- Pataks is also recommended as a short cut (And apparently it was not an advert for them, Jamie did try it and thought it was as good as it can get for a store bought jar version).


So happily I used the jar-I welcome short cuts in the kitchen. This made an awesome quick stir fry dish with both fish and vegetables- how healthy can it get right? (oh no wait... sorry, tandoori paste has oil...). Still, it was a good change from my normal stir fry dishes.

 Salmon Tandoori Stir Fry 
1 piece of salmon diced
1 tsp of chopped garlic
1 fresh chili chopped
1 knob of ginger mince 
1-2 tablespoon of Pataks Tandoori curry paste
1/2 can of coconut milk (obmited)
handful of bean sprouts
big handful of snow peas
 peanuts to serve

lemon or lime wedges 

Cook garlic, chili and ginger and curry paste. Add salmon and toss it through. Add some water if too dry (or coconut milk). add the veges.

Dish it out on hot rice. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.

  1. Hello Daphne! how's life going for you? Time flies and it's been awhile since the last time we met (for the first and last time) at Moses' wedding. (I actually just went crabbing with him and Kate yesterday).

    Anyways, it's nice to see your blog going well (like the background design). I'm back into blogging again, but not about food this time. Drop by and visit if you have the time :)
