Fish Curry with Green Mango

A recipe close to my heart: my mum's South African fish curry. Tender fish simmered in a fragrant curry sauce with tangy green mangoes, silky brinjal slices, and coconut milk for a rich, creamy finish. The combination of sweet, sour, warm spices, and coastal flavours creates a comforting curry that's both unique and deeply nostalgic.
