Tamarind Fish Curry

I have always preferred fish to meat. Even if you tend to eat more ;) you don't feel really heavy and sluggish afterwards. Growing up I had fish almost daily. I really miss my mom's fish curries. I live in Cleveland and we don't get a whole lot of good fresh fish here so that is kind of disappointing. I make this curry with Tilapia fillets and I feel that its a match made in heaven!!
This fish curry is really divine full of flavour and I think you should definitely give it a try.
