Caril é talvez um dos meus sabores preferidos, especialmente quando saem como este, suaves e com o sabor das especiarias a sobressair sobre o picante e os restantes ingredientes. A batata doce combina muito bem com as especiarias e o peixe foi colocado para transformar aquilo que poderia ser um acompanhamento ou prato vegetariano, num prato principal, capaz de agradar aos meus pais.
Desta forma, inspirei-me neste caril que encontrei aqui
Curry is maybe one of my favourite flavours, especially when like this one, is smooth and have the flavour of spices stand out from the rest of the ingredients. The sweet potato blends nicely with the spices and the fish was only used in order to turn what could be a side or vegetarian dish, into a main course able to please my parents.
So, i got inspiration for the curry I found here

Refogue os tomates e cozinhe até que o óleo desapareça. Junte a pasta do ponto anterior e deixe cozinhar até que comece a ferver.
Now I took another pan added oil. Once oil was hot, I added the mustard seeds. When they started to crack I added the curry leaves, chilies, sugar. chopped tomatoes and turmeric powder.
I let the tomatos and let them cook until oil comes out. Then I added the grounded paste and let the mixture cook until it started bubbling on low heat.
