- 600g firm white fish fillets, cut into 3cm cubes

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add spice mix, lime leaves, lemongrass and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add coconut cream and palm sugar. Bring to a simmer. Add fish. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add okra and tamarind.
