Kumara soup with smoked fish croûtons

1 tablespoon each: grated root ginger, lemon grass, chicken stock powder, lime or lemon juice
pinch each: curry powder, ground nutmeg
400ml each: coconut milk, water
salt and white pepper to taste
2 slices toast-thickness bread
2 tablespoons butter
200g canned or vacuum packed smoked fish
