The Peppersoup Fish Curry

August 22, 2022

Last week, I took a mandatory break from work just to relax. You know, no work just vibes. And my mind wandered far away and landed on this Peppersoup Fish Curry dish. I had been studying and exploring Nigerian spices and spice blends. I needed to do something with the 6 jars of Peppersoup spice I had in the pantry (don't ask me why I have that many).

You might be wondering what is Peppersoup Spice. I used this in one of the previous Assorted Peppersoup posts. One of the best minds in Nigerian food research has a whole blog post dedicated to this here.

My thought process; after making Thai Fish curry 3 days in a row for a client was centred around how red curry paste was a blend of various ingredients. We know pepper soup spice is also... Hence, I decided to try this Peppersoup Fish Curry And the results were AMAZING!

This dish gave all the feels, it felt like Peppersoup and also like curry, so warm, hearty, spicy and flavourful. You NEED to try this. It follows most of the principles of a regular Thai Curry but with a couple of tweaks.
