📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Along South India's coast, fish is often simmered with tomato and spices into curry. This creative dish recreates that flavor with Japanese pantry staples, canned mackerel and canned tomatoes. The fish and its liquid are full of savoriness, so it gets deep flavor without stock. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a night with no time to shop, a red curry made from two cans in the cupboard and an onion is poured over rice.
