  1. Open the tin and take off the fish pieces carefully. If they are big, spread them into 2 or 3 pieces.

  3. Get ready with thin coconut milk and thin tamarind juice. (Refer Note 2)
  4. Heat the oil and add mustard seeds. Let it splutter.
  5. Add the onion and sauté it until translucent. For me, it takes about 1 minute.

  15. This is how to make the best tin fish curry without potatoes. Serve and enjoy this delicious canned fish curry recipe in Sri Lankan style.
Notes
1. If you don’t like more spiciness, reduce the amount of curry powder.

2. I instantly made coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut, use coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.

3. Once add the fish pieces you should give a good care when stir and mix the curry. The fish pieces are very soft, so easily broken into little bits.

4. If you don’t want thick gravy, it is enough to cook 3 to 5 minutes under low flame.
