Fish in Coconut Milk Sauce/Sothy



I remembered that this dish is called Sothy but everytime i asked my indian friends, they seemed to blink and i feel silly for asking. So, everytime i make this dish, i will say it is coconut milk curry and would not dare to say that it is called Sothy. I was very delighted, when i searched in the net and found this statement "Kiri hodi: a Sri Lankan curry sauce, made with coconut milk, onions andturmeric. Also called pol kiri and sothy. Kiri is a Sri Lankan word for coconut." The blink i get must be from indians who are not Sri Lankan.

Ingredients:
4 pieces spanish mackeral steak
1 x 400 ml can coconut cream
2 slices ginger slices - julienned
1/2 tsp tumeric powder
1 tomato (optional)
Green or red pepper(optional)
salt and lime juice to taste
Fried shallots and cilantro for garnishing

Method:
Put all the ingredients to cook and the dish is done when the fish steaks are cooked.
Adjust the taste with salt and lime juice.
Serve with fried shallots and cilantro.
