  3. 3Stir in curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder, cooking for 30 seconds.
  4. 4Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. 5Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring well.
  6. 6Gently add fish fillets and salt, simmering for 8-10 minutes until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
