Recipe??!? Bung it in like
To be fair, I'll have to think about this a little more than usual. The handy metal tins of curry spices mixed by the nice man in Cochin are pretty much empty, so I'll actually have to work from past tastes. Going for a coconut fish molly/molli style curry I reckon - think coconut milk, plenty of curry leaves and ginger, green chillli and tumeric
If anyone has a good recipe let me know. I'm going to wing it and splice a frankenstein recipe from different sources and memory if not.
I'm sure there must be keralan fish curries without coconut, but they seem rare. Probably because you're surrounded by coconut trees and it just goes perfectly. I think it'd soil LQ's expectations and holiday memories if I left the coconut out.
You could try something like Keralan fish fry though?

Um...for future reference, it is DEFINITELY worth boiling
...I know from experience (forgot to do it once).... 
There's not a lot of it, so it's actually very quick to cool in the bottom of a shallow dish or whatever (so you could actually scrape any excess off and do it before you cook it tonight - it'd be well worth the effort, imo).

Yes, yes, yes!
And takes a bit of the rawness out of the ginger too!
Otherwise - cooked in that way - it can be a bit overwhelming, iykwim, a little bitter.

Ok, well, we'll see how it goes and if it's horrible I've learnt my lesson
It shouldn't be horrible, but it defo won't be as nice.
I got engaged at the weekend, seems to have turned me into a bit of a soppy muppet with an urge to spread the love
hey - congrats
nowt wrong with a bit of soppiness Last night's carbonara was stunning *drools*
Tonight I shall be dining on a defrosted portion of chicken in that cheat country french sauce. Only cos I have the dreaded fucking ironing to do and I will need to eat quickly after that to cheer myself up!!
I've been using cannellini beans for a while now (used to hate beany type stuff), but mainly in stews and soups, but have recently turned myself onto the idea of eating them with stuff mashed in them. My god! Revelation time! Stunning with some Encona sauce mashed in

Mashed/pureed with loads of garlic soj, lovely. And if you don't make it totally smooth it's worth using o serving to place a bit of meat on.

take me to the feeling
Last night I had fishfingers, potato waffles and beans, followed by fruit salad with yoghurt and two bits of lemon cake.
Tonight I think we will have some chilli from out of the freezer.

Okay, I'll scrape it off and boil it then
Yeh, no doubt garlic will come into the equation at some point as I live on the stuff.
I actually prefer them roughly mashed with a fork, so you end up with some whole beans and some mashed

Thanks all
Last night my hosts fed me roast aubergine, salad and goats cheese, followed by veg chili. For meat eaters they knocked up a very good veg chili - not very hot but tasty. The veg was just cooked so that the cannellini & kidney beans hadn't turned to complete mush and the addition of celery gave it a sweeter, different flavour to most chilis.
Tonight it'll have to be something very spicy, maybe a chana masala, with sag aloo.

Good idea!
Or you could do an experiment and scrape it off half and do half with the boiled marinade and half without....
