Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cut the white fish into bite-sized chunks.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Slice the red pepper into strips.
- Chop the coriander leaves.
2. Cook the Sauce:
- Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat.
- Add the curry paste to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
3. Add the Coconut Milk:
- Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk.
- Stir well to combine with the curry paste and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the sliced zucchini, broccoli florets, and red pepper strips to the pan.
- Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Add the Fish and Seasonings:
- Gently add the fish chunks to the pan.
- Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar.
- Simmer for another 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or brown sugar for sweetness.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the curry from the heat.
- Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the top.
- Serve the vegetable and fish green curry hot, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles if desired.

Tips:

- Select fresh, high-quality white fish to ensure the best flavor and texture.

- Adjust the amount of curry paste according to your preferred spice level.

- Slice the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at a similar rate.

- Do not overcook the fish; it should be tender and flaky but not falling apart.

- Add a splash of water or extra coconut milk if the curry sauce becomes too thick.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for an added burst of flavor and color.

- Serve the curry with steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
