From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

4 small sea bass fillet, each about 150g
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 1/ 2 teaspoon ground tumeric
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 medium onions, finely sliced
6 green chillies, slit lengthways
3 garlic cloves, sliced into fine strips
20 curry leaves
400ml coconut milk
coriander sprigs, to garnish
Remove any small bones from the fish fillets with tweezers. Mix half a teaspoon of salt with a teaspoon of turmeric and gently rub into the fish fillets.
Heat the coconut oil in a wide pan. Add the onions, chillies and garlic, and sauté for a few minutes, then add the curry leaves and keep cooking until the onion is translucent.
Take out half of the curry leaves and set aside for the garnish. Add the rest of the turmeric and salt to the pan. Pour in the coconut milk and heat through, then add the fish fillets and simmer very gently for 3-4 minutes until just cooked.
Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved curry leaves and coriander.
