Instructions
-
Sauté the Shallots: Begin by melting the butter in a stockpot over a medium-high flame. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the Curry Paste and Tomatoes: Stir in the curry paste and pureed tomatoes, then add 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the curry simmer, covered, for 12 minutes. Make sure to stir the pot periodically to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom.
-
Add the Sole Fillets: After 12 minutes, gently fold the chopped sole fillets into the curry. Continue cooking for another 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fish is cooked through and tender, the curry is ready to serve. Spoon it into bowls, and enjoy this light yet satisfying dish with your favorite side, such as steamed rice or crusty bread.

- Add Vegetables: If you want to make this dish heartier, consider adding vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers during the simmering stage.
