Instructions to make Curried Fish Polenta Pie:

1. Gently heat oil in a pan on medium heat.
2. Add in onion, mustard seeds, cumin Seeds, whole peppercorns and bayleaf and saute until onion becomes translucent.
3. Add sliced garlic and stir.
4. Mix in the chilli / curry powder followed by the cumin powder and coriander powder. Be careful not to burn the spices.
5. Mix in the can of chopped tomatoes, about half the water and salt to taste and allow tomatoes to cook through. This takes roughly 7 to 10 minutes.
6. Mix in the lemon juice. At this point I use the back of my spoon to smash the tomatoes to break the chunks and have a nice thick gravy.
7. Now add in the remaining water and the cream / coconut cream if using. Note that this variant offers a richer dish and does alter the flavour.
8. Place hake medallions into pan and cover allowing to cook for about 15 minutes (turning once half way through). Please note that your cooking time may vary. We want the fish to be tender but cooked through.
9. Meanwhile… Prepare your polenta. I've used 1 cup of polenta to 4 cups of water. Salt and some butter to taste.
10. To assemble our pie…
11. Place fish pieces into a baking dish. NB. Use one that is deep enough and will allow enough room for the rest of your pie.
12. Pour gravy over your fish.
13. Spread the cooked polenta over top of your fish curry to create a crust. (Much like mash is used in a cottage pie).
14. Top with grated cheese (I've used half mozzarella and half cheddar), the 2 chopped chillies and cherry tomatoes.
15. Grill until cheese is golden and serve with a nice side of salad.
