Ingredients:

Curry Sauce: 
1/2 cup fresh coriander stems and leaves (chopped)
1 can of good quality coconut milk
4 green onions (sliced, including green stem)
1 thumb-size piece galangal or ginger (grated)
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons brown sugar (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon shrimp paste OR 1 extra teaspoon of fish sauce
1 fresh red chili, minced
Other Ingredients: 
3 to 4 fillets whiting
2 to 3 kaffir lime leaves left whole OR 2 to 3 bay leaves
1 medium tomato (cut into small pieces)
A handful of fresh coriander

Directions:

1. Place all ​Thai curry sauce ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender. Process well to form the curry sauce.
2. Pour sauce into a wok or large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Add kaffir lime leaves or bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil.
3. Reduce heat to medium-high, or until it is simmering nicely. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables have softened.
4. Add fish and tomato and gently stir in. Cover and simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is flaking and cooked to your liking.
5. Do a taste test for flavor, adding more fish sauce if not flavorful or salty enough. If too sour for your taste, add a little more sugar. If too salty or sweet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh lime or lemon juice.
6. Spoon the fish with curry sauce and vegetables into a serving bowl or serve straight from the wok. Sprinkle with coriander and garnish with lime or lemon wedges if desired. Accompany with jasmine rice.
