This is a lovely spicy fish curry.
Spread out the pieces of fish in a shallow dish and sprinkle them with the salt.
Dry-fry the coconut in a wok over medium to low heat turning all the time until it is crisp and golden. Tip the dry-fried coconut into a food processor and process until you have an oily paste. Scrape into a bowl and reserve.
Add the onions, almonds, garlic and ginger to the food processor. Cut off the lower 5cm of the lemongrass stalks, chop them roughly and add to the other ingredients in the processor. Process the mixture to a paste. Add the ground turmeric to the mixture in the processor and process briefly to mix.
Bruise the remaining lemongrass and set the stalks aside.
Heat the oil in the clean wok. Add the onion mixture and cook for a few minutes without browning. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to the boil, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling.
Add the cubes of fish, most of the sliced chillies and the bruised lemongrass stalks. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the coconut paste and cook for a further 2-3 minutes only. Do not overcook the fish. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Remove the lemon grass stalks. Spoon the moolie on to a hot serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining slices of chilli. Garnish with chopped and whole chives and serve with boiled long grain rice.
