Asian food is very popular in Australia. The most popular cuisine is probably Thai food. My family loves Thai curries, however I often find them too sweet. I cook this Red Fish Curry without Sugar. If you want it sweet, just add 1-2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar. You can use any type of fish of your choice, but they should be boneless.

To anyone attempting this, especially in Asia I recommend that you drastically reduce the amount of curry paste or add slowly, not all of them are the same it depends on the manufacturer. I didn’t have any experience with this paste and made a huge mistake adding all 50gr. Although we are pretty good with spicy dishes but it was so spicy we couldn’t even have two bites.

Thank you for your advice. I have never tried with other brands’ paste, I really don’y know how strong it could be. I must add a note to the recipe.
