Tip:
      You can also use pickled olive as topping.
      If you do not like chilli powder, you can leave it out.
      You can substitute salmon with canned mackerel or sardine. I prefer mackerel to
      sardine. Nevertheless, sardine is easier to spread on the base.
      Lemon juice is used in this recipe to remove the fishy smell of the fish.
     You can use this curry to make sandwich also.
      I use salmon to make gravy, since its oil is not wasted. When you fry salmon, all
      Its oil is lost.
