Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while canned tuna is more budget-friendly.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers similar acidity, while vinegar is often more affordable.

chili peppers

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: paprika

Bell peppers provide sweetness without heat, while paprika is a cost-effective spice.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes and green peppers; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add fish to the pot, cooking until it starts to turn opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and lime juice; stir to combine.

Season with salt, black pepper, and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.

Add chopped coriander and chili peppers; stir well before serving.
