This recipe my mom had found from the website LivehealthWise.com 

My mom discovered this recipe the other day while browsing the internet for recipes I could try. She was extremely tired of hearing me complain about how I don't have anything good to eat since I started my diet. To be honest, I really miss eating Indian food, or anything flavorful with spices like curry. She had stumbled upon this website and asked me about it, so after reviewing the recipe I thought I would give it a try. I will admit, I am almost always willing to try anything involving coconut milk or curry, however, I was a little unsure of how this dish would turn out. In the end I was pleasantly surprised and I must say this is one of my favorite dishes! Regardless of if I am on this diet or not I would probably still eat this dish no matter what! In the first bite your taste buds are introduced to numerous flavors that blend so well together that it leaves you craving more. It is simply delicious. Plus, once you reach the salmon or chicken, you will be in for a sweet surprise. It literally melts in your mouth and it is so soft and sweet it is unbelievable. I prefer this way of cooking my fish because there just doesn't seem to be any other way to get it as soft and tender as this. If you are a fan of fish or chicken I would definitely recommend this recipe in a heart beat!!! I don't know what could be better than this recipe for it meets all the requirements for a great meal: hot, sweet, fresh and filling! Who could ask for anything more?
