This is a classic and my mum and grandma both made it. You don’t have to stick to these ingredients, so use different kinds of fish or try a vegetarian version cooked with aubergine, yam, sweet potato and squash instead of these root vegetables. The traditional use of the word ‘rundown’ relates to the oil that comes from coconut milk when you boil it up. You scoop it off the top and use it for cooking. Here we’re using the very thick coconut cream as it has the same richness.
