1 lemongrass - lightly smashed

1. Prepare all the ingredients and set aside.  Heat oil in pot on medium heat.  Before oil is hot, add in combined curry mix, lemongrass and curry leaves.  Saute till fragrant and oil is chilli red.  Add in tamarind juice.  Bring to boil for 5 minutes.

 Notes

• If storing curry, prepare only step 1.  When serving, follow steps 2 and 3.  Curry tastes good after several hours.
• Can substitute fish with prawns.  Fish, prawns and eggs need not be pan fried but must be added before adding milk, tomatoes and onions.
• Mint, spring onions and coriander can be added to curry.
