1. ghee 2 Tablespoons
  onion 1 medium, chopped
  ground turmeric ¼ teaspoon
  chile 1 large hot chile, chopped
  garlic 3 cloves, crushed
  minced ginger from a jar 1 Tablespoon
  potatoes 2, peeled and
cut into eighths
2. water 1 cup
  salt to taste
3. lite coconut milk 1 can, 14.5 oz.
  cauliflower 1½ cups, chopped
  cod 1 lb.
4. lemon juice 1 Tablespoon
  cilantro 1 Tablespoon, chopped

1. In a large pan heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the onion and let it cook until it's golden, then add the turmeric and stir well. Now add in the chile, garlic, ginger, and potatoes. Stir well until the potatoes are thoroughly coated with the delicious mixture, which should only take a minute or two.

2. Add the water and half of the salt and bring the whole pot to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, turn it down to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it all bubble away until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes.

3. Now stir the coconut milk, cauliflower, and fish in and bring the pot back up to a simmer. Let the pot continue cooking until the fish is cooked through, which only takes about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the lemon juice, adjust the salt, and serve garnished with cilantro.
