  • 8 Add the the thick coconut milk and sugar. Just shake the vessel lightly (Don't stir with spoon as the fish is flaky and may break ). Make sure not to bring this to a boil now at this stage.
  • 9 Immediately, add the vinegar(optional). Let the curry simmer for 2-3 minutes. (Don't allow it to boil as there are chances of the curry getting curdled due to the vinegar. So just shake the vessel lightly so as to not allow it to boil.)
