ASIAN FISH CURRY

One other thing to remember is that Northern Sub-Continental curries are traditionally eaten with bread but Southern curries such as this one, which involve Seafood are always eaten with Rice. These just don't go well with bread and rice is highly recommended. That said, the rice itself does not need to be fancy. In fact, plain boiled rice is preferable to seasoned or flavored rice that may overpower the curry itself
