Heat oil in pot. Stir-fry onions for 3 min till soft and translucent.

Add garlic and chillies. Stir-fry for 3 min till fragrant.

Add tomatoes. Stir-fry for 1 min.

Add stock, coconut milk, fish, lime juice and zest, salt and blackpepper.

Bring to a boil, then leave to simmer for 10 min.

Turn heat off. Stir in coriander.

As I had a lot of salmon and threadfin bones in the freezer after my confinement, I used a couple of them to make the fish stock first before using it to cook this dish. Yummy! If you do not have fish stock, you can substitute it with vegetable or chicken stock as well.
