Sarah Ali Choudhury shares her recipe for Coco Fish Curry — Sarah Ali Choudhury’s Coco Fish Curry recipe

In 2005, the RNLI deployed six boats and a team of 20 volunteers to Guyana, where heavy rain and flooding affected 250,000 people. My mum is from Guyana, we have family there and regularly travel there. Lifeboat crew members were also involved in major international flood relief efforts in Bangladesh in 1970. I am proud to be supporting RNLI who are making a difference to the world.

Try my Coco Fish Curry with Tamarind - a seed pod from native African trees which are extremely tall and used in South Asian and Indian cooking to flavour curries. It has a delicious tangy flavour and the name describes it as "Dates of India"
