Prepare the curry sauce and put all the curry sauce ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender. Process well to form a smooth curry sauce.

Now pour the sauce into a large frying pan and place over medium to high flame and bring it to a boil.

Add fish, mushrooms, and red pepper and stir well. Reduce heat to medium-high and cover and cook 6-8 minutes. After removing the cover stir well. Add the tomatoes and continue simmering and let it be covered for another 2-3 minutes.

Do a taste test and i you found it too sour for your taste, add a little more sugar. If too salty or sweet, add 1-2 tbsp fresh lime juice. Pour fish with curry sauce and vegetables onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh basil and coriander leaves. Garnish with lime or lemon wedges and serve hot with rice.
