Method:

Wash tuna and pat dry. Place in a single layer in a glass dish (don’t overlap them).
Purée onion, chilli, garlic, salt and 125 ml (1/2 cup) coconut milk until smooth. Marinate fish in spice mixture for 1 hour.
Remove fish, brush with oil and grill.
Meanwhile, bring marinade, remaining coconut milk, lemon grass and chopped basil to boil, then simmer over low heat, stirring frequently (to prevent curdling), until reduced slightly. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired.
Spoon over grilled fish and serve.
