Thai Fish Curry



 This curry is just divine! I love the different kinds of flavours and smells this bring to my kitchen. Don't be alarmed by the long lost of ingredients, once you have bought all these beautiful spices they will keep for a long time and is good to have on hand for those times you come home and have no idea what to cook. You know that you are few spices away from a perfect dinner. This curry is more "thai style" rather then a thai curry, it is not the most authentic recipe out there but sure does taste good.

¼ cup sesame oil
1 onion, finely chopped
 3 garlic cloves, crushed

1/4 cup ginger, cut into julienne
