- 1
Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add sliced onion, garlic, ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.
- 2
Add the Sri Lankan curry powder, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, and cinnamon stick. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic, being careful not to burn them.
- 3
Add the prepared ambarella fruit pieces to the pot. Stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the ambarella to soften slightly.
- 4
Pour in the thick coconut milk and water. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the ambarella is tender but still holds its shape.
- 5
Gently add the fish chunks to the curry. Stir carefully to submerge the fish in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Avoid over-stirring to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

Stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.

Serve hot with steamed rice.
đĄ Proffstips
- âEnsure the ambarella fruit is unripe for the best sourness.
- âAdjust the number of green chilies to your spice preference.
- âIf you cannot find ambarella, you can substitute with a small amount of tamarind paste or unripe mango, but the flavor will differ.
