White fish (cod, hake, or kingklip) – Lean protein with omega-3s to support hormone and brain health.
Coconut milk – Rich in lauric acid, which supports immunity and gives the dish its silky texture.
Thai curry paste – Adds depth of flavour while bringing antioxidant-rich spices like turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal.
Leafy greens & veggies – Bok choy, zucchini, and bell peppers for fibre, vitamins, and minerals.
