Salted Fish Mixed Vegetable Curry

My hubby made some salted fish from the fishes he caught.  Shared some with my neighbours and kept some to cook this curry.  Cockles can also be added to it, but this time I didn't cos' we only wanted to savour the mixed vegetables and the gravy.

We had this curry with Greek Olga Bread [recipe here].  A simple meal that can be prepared earlier.  Just warm up the bread in the oven and heat up the curry........and the meal is ready.
