- 2 thinly sliced large red onions
- 2 T olive oil
- 100 g butter
- 1 t coriander seeds
- 1 t cumin seeds

- 1 x 70 g tub Woolworths fresh crushed garlic, ginger, chilli and turmeric

Method
Ingredients
1. Fry the onions in the olive oil in an ovenproof pan over a low heat until softened.
2. Add the butter, curry powder, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves and fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and fry for a further minute over a medium heat until fragrant.
3. Add the tomatoes, then fill the empty can with water and add to the pan. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat the grill. Arrange the hake fillets on a greased a baking tray, season and grill for 5–7 minutes. Carefully arrange the fillets in the curry sauce in the pan, then grill for 3–5 minutes, or until bubbling. Serve hot with the rotis, topped with chilli.
Cook's note: Woolies’ fresh butter rotis are just the thing to mop up all that delicious sauce. Made according to an authentic recipe, simply heat them in a pan until puffed up and crisp.

I am making this today, the 100g butter threw me off but lol it’s all in the taste
I made this amazing hake curry yesterday it was absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Made this today during the Lockdown and it was amazing. I love the side note or adding Roti that’s the game changer.
