While sweeter, the tanginess of prunes can achieve a similar effect. For a variation, try soaking prunes in lime juice before adding them to the curry.

Instructions

    To make the coconut seasoning, in a small bowl mix together the shredded coconut, water, lime zest, and lime juice in a bowl. Split the chile in half lengthwise and remove the seeds (or leave them for a spicier flavor). Chop finely. Mix the chile, red onion, and half of the minced garlic into the coconut mixture. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

    Heat the coconut oil in the wok over medium heat. Fry the onion and remaining garlic until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and continue frying for 1 more minute. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Add the sweet potato, peppers, prunes and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to the boil again. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

    Rinse the fish in cold water, pat dry and cut into 1-in (2- to 3-cm) pieces. Add the fish, cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until opaque. Add the prawns and simmer until cooked through, about 2 minutes.

    Serve with bowls of cilantro and coconut seasonings on the side.
