Stir in 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 cubed sweet potato, 2 tablespoons of mild curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, sautéing for 3-5 minutes to lightly toast the spices.

Pour in 13.5 fluid ounces of full-fat coconut milk and 0.5 cup of fish or vegetable broth, then stir in 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter until well combined; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover the clay pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.

Gently add 1.5 pounds of fish chunks to the simmering stew, ensuring they are mostly submerged, then re-cover the clay pot and continue to cook for 8-12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 0.5 cup of fresh spinach, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, and garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro before serving hot.
