In a pan pour the oil and sauté the onion and sweet peppers for about five minutes.
Add the garlic ginger, turmeric powder and curry powder and mix well.
Add the coconut cream and cook until the sauce boils.
Add the tamarind extract, stir then add salt.
Cook for about four minutes, or until the sauce is thick.
Pour the sauce onto the fish evenly, on both sides.
Drizzle some hot sauce (optional) and serve the fish with ugali. Enjoy!
