Fish chowder is quick and comforting. This one (inspired by the flavours of coronation chicken) certainly fits the bill, pepped up with ginger, garlic and curry powder and finished with a few dollops of mango chutney.

We’ve used haddock and prawns here, but the chowder works with a variety of fish and seafood; use what’s sustainable and in season.

This is a great dish to scale up and feed larger numbers with – just double or triple the quantities as needed
