For the marinade, mix the coconut milk, lime zest and juice, ginger, turmeric, black pepper and salt in a container wide enough to accommodate the fish. Add the hake and brush or spoon the marinade over both slides. Cover and set aside while you prepare the curry, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cooking.
For the toasted spices, toast the fennel, coriander and cumin seeds over a low heat in a shallow saucepan large enough to fit the fish later. After 3-4 minutes, or once fragrant, tip the spices into a bowl and set aside. Add the cardamom pods and toast in the same way.
Meanwhile, for the curry blend, put 200g tomatoes, the pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, makrut leaves, chilli, coconut milk and stock into a blender. Tip in the toasted spices (excluding the cardamom), then blend until smooth.
Pour the curry blend into the saucepan with the cardamom pods and place over a medium heat. No oil is required. Add the dry spices and lime zest and juice, then stir and cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar, and cook for 20 minutes, or until slightly reduced and thickened.
Slice the remaining tomatoes and add to the curry. Season with salt, stir, cover completely and cook for about 5 minutes.
Carefully tuck the fish into the curry with the remaining marinade, then cover and cook for 5 minutes more, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Scatter with coconut slices, the coriander and Thai basil and serve.
The sauce freezes well for up to 3 months and is great with fish, chicken, meat or vegetables. For an extra crisp finish, top with green beans or sugar snaps, added for the final 3-4 minutes of cooking time. Use remaining coconut milk for chapati, or coconut rice. You can freeze it to use later in recipes that don’t call for an entire can. For those new to Scotch bonnet, or who prefer milder heat, don’t blend it into the sauce. Cut an incision into the whole chilli instead, and drop it into the curry as it cooks.
