Instructions
- In a large pan, combine the coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chili powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to create a fragrant sauce.
- Add the fish fillets to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully remove the fish from the pan and use a fork to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- While the curry is simmering, heat the tortilla wraps in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side, just until warmed and pliable.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the fish curry on each tortilla wrap.
- Top the fish with shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, and chopped cilantro for a fresh crunch.
- Drizzle the yogurt over the top, adding an extra layer of creaminess to the wraps.
- Roll up the wraps tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
- Serve the Sri Lankan fish curry wraps immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add sliced fresh chilies or a dash of hot sauce to the yogurt sauce.
- Feel free to customize the veggies according to your preference; bell peppers or avocado make great additions.
- For a gluten-free option, use rice paper wraps instead of tortilla wraps.
