cod and prawn curry

2 bits of cod loin
1 pack fresh prawns
big bit of ginger, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
a small onion, finely sliced
tablespoon of yellow split peas
a yellow pepper, in chunks
2 small green chillies, deseeded
mustard powder
turmeric powder
tomato puree
handfuls of fresh coriander, chopped
A little lime zest and some lime juice
mustard oil
salt

Cut the cod into large bite sized pieces; dust with mustard, turmeric
and salt, brown on both sides, quickly, in the oil. Put aside.

In the same oil add the yellow split peas and fry until they start to turn brown

Add the garlic and ginger and fry for a short while

Add pepper and onion.

Add tomato puree and some water to just cover. Cook slowly until the
split peas become just tender enough to not break your teeth.

Put the fish back in and add the prawns, cook slowly until prawns are done.

Stir in the coriander and lime, allow to rest for 5 minutes, serve with rice
