Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then prepare a medium saucepan with the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water or fish stock.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat to bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, cumin, and coriander powder; stir well and toast for about 1 minute.
- Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and stir gently, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and the juice and zest of 1 lime, stir well, and adjust salt. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Gently nestle the white fish fillets into the coconut sauce, cover, and cook for 5-8 minutes, until opaque.
- After cooking, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve over jasmine rice, with lime wedges on the side.

Notes
Use fresh lime juice and herbs for maximum flavor. Don't overcook the fish and adjust spice levels as needed.
