For four people you will need:

4 fillets of firm fish (I used Kabeljou a local fish from south africa.its absolutley delicious and keeps its shape well so its ideal for this type of dish,but use what ever fish suits you)

2 fresh chillies (more or less, depending on your taste) finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, coarsely torn
1/3 cup torn fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/2 cup and 1 Tbls coconut milk

Heat the oil in a pan or skillet and fry the spring onions until they are soft. Then add the cumin, chillies and ground coriander seeds and fry until the fragrances are released.
Add the chives, fresh coriander, mint and coconut milk. Give it a dash of salt. Heat through over medium heat.
