    2. In a frying pan add the oil and put in the onions, greenchillies, garlic, ginger, coriander leaves. Fry a little and then add the tomatoes, tumeric powder and the Maldive fish and fry a little (if it is fresh fish add it at the end in the curry and keep it just for 3 minutes for the fish to cook). Add the thin coconut milk and the Potatoes and let it come to the boil. Take it off the stove and add the thick coconut milk and the lime juice.
