I will never forget the first time that I ever tasted a Durban Tinned Fish Curry.

One of the sisters, by the name of Sam, who was absolutely instrumental in my curry cooking adventure, made it for us for lunch.

It was the first time that I had ever heard of, never mind tasted a tinned fish curry – and please excuse the pun … I was instantly hooked.

I think that I make a pretty decent tinned fish curry, here is my recipe, until I feasted my eyes on this absolute beauty by Aunty Maurine.

Wow … this is the real deal. 

Aunty Maurine was kind enough to share her step-by-step recipe, so that now we can all cook this beautiful dish at home. Thank you.
