--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3       tb           Sunflower oil
   5                    Shallots, sliced
   4                    Garlic cloves,chopped
   1       tb           Mustard seeds
   1 1/2   lb           Firm white fish boned
                        -and cubed
                        (the recipe recommends
                        -shark, dog fish, monkfish,
                        -John Dory, swordfish, huss)
                        Flour for dusting
   1       t            Whole fenugreek
   1                    1" piece of cinnamon or
                        -cassia
   1       t            Tamarind pulp
   1       tb           Turmeric
   5       oz           Grated creamed cocomut
                        -(I used a can of coconut
                        -milk which I substituted
                        -for the water)

  Heat the oil and fry the shallots, garlic and mustard
  seeds for 1-2 mins.Dust the fish with flour and
  briefly seal both sides in the hot oil. Add the rest
  fo the spices and tamarind pulp, dissolved in enough
  water ( here is where I used the coconut milk)  to
  cover the fish. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, (
  omit this next step if using the coconut milk) then
  stir in the grated coconut until almalgamated into the
  sauce.
