OK so I am posting a bunch of seafood dishes in a row. I had planned to post a chicken recipe tonight as I have two in hand but I have been so busy, so I will post a zaar members recipe, it was gorgeous, and easier to post as I just have to copy paste the recipe. This one was so quick to prepare and on the table in no time at all and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

1 Teaspoon turmeric
1 Cup water
1lb Tuna, in 2 inch cubes
Sea salt
1 Tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
3 Cloves garlic, chopped
2 Teaspoons chopped ginger
1 Teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 Tomato, sliced
2 Shallot, thinly sliced
2 Long green chilies, sliced in half and seeded
1 Cup coconut milk

Method

1. In a medium saucepan mix turmeric in 1 cup water.

2. Add tuna, and season with salt.

3. Place over medium-low heat, and bring to a simmer.

4. Cook for 2 minutes, turning tuna cubes once.

5. Remove from heat.

6. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat, and add oil.

7. When it shimmers, add garlic, ginger and mustard seeds.

8. Cook for 2 minutes.

9. Add tomatoes, shallots and chilies; cook for 1 minute.

10. Add tuna, about 1/3 cup of its cooking water, coconut milk, tamarind and salt to taste.

11. Stir to dissolve tamarind.

12. Simmer, covered, until sauce has blended and thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.

I served mine over coconut chili rice.
