Pour in the coconut milk and add the slit green chilies (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Season with salt. Let the curry simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering curry. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
