There are few meals under R20 which can feed a family of 4. There are even fewer meals under R20 which can feed a family of 4 and still be absolutely delicious, as a famous Durban Tinned Fish Curry.

Durban Lucky Star Tinned Fish Curry

Tin Pilchards (chilli is best)

milliliters Sunflower Oil

Large Onions (Finely chopped)

2-3 Jam tomatoes (or more if you want more gravy)

Star Anise

Cinnamon Stick

Teaspoon Jeera, Powder or Whole Seeds (cumin)

Teaspoon Chilli Powder (or Cayenne Pepper if you want hot)

Tablespoons Masala / Curry Powder

potato

Remove pilchards from the can, leaving the sauce behind. Cut them down the belly and remove bones and any stomach etc that you may find inside. (keep the sauce, we will add to the pot later)

Add star anise, cinnamon and jeera (cumin) and allow to fry. (do not burn your spices)

Add Masala / Curry Power and let fry (do not let burn)

Add a dash of water if required if the mixture is too dry

Lower the heat and let simmer until the mixture has cooked down and the oil is starting to float to the top

Add curry leaves and let simmer for 2 minutes

Cover and let simmer until the potatoes are soft and almost cooked.

Add your fish, laying them down on the sauce. Spoon sauce on top of the fish. Turn the heat right down, cover the pot and allow to simmer for 5 or so minutes.

Take the pot off the heat and allow to stand for at least 15 minutes.

Serve with rice, fresh buttered bread, roti or however you like it.
