Forbidden Thai Fish Curry

This is our version of a Thai Fish Curry served on black rice - traditionally known as 'the forbidden rice' its an ancient grain with impressive health benefits. Black rice is higher in protein than other rice and the deep purple colour indicates its high in antioxidant content. Our recipe is packed with veges and a delicious lime and kaffir lime leaf flavour balanced by lychee.
