- 1
Prepare the duruka by trimming the tough outer layers and cutting into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh duruka, blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. This helps to tenderize them.

In a saucepan or deep skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil (optional, if using non-stick) over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the prepared duruka pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
đĄ Proffstips: Do not boil the coconut milk vigorously, as it can split. - 5
Gently place the fish fillets into the simmering coconut cream mixture. Ensure the fish is mostly submerged. Cover the pan and cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
đĄ Proffstips: Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary. - 6
Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- 7
Serve the fish and duruka immediately, spooning the creamy coconut sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
đĄ Proffstips: This dish is best served hot with steamed rice.

- âBe gentle when adding and stirring the fish to prevent it from breaking apart.
