METHOD
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and cook the onion with a pinch of salt until soft. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the curry paste, coconut cream, lime juice, fish sauce and caster sugar. Bring to the boil then simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Cut the fish into large bite-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through then stir in half of the coriander.

Cook’s tips: Start with 1 tablespoon of paste if you are unsure of its heat, adding more as desired.
