Ingredients
- 180 g Spanish mackerel, raw
- 15 g Tamarind pulp
- 15 g Chili peppers, red, raw
- 25 g Shallots, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 5 g Ginger, fresh
- 2 g Turmeric
- 8 g Lemongrass, raw
- 40 g Tomatoes, raw
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 200 g Water
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Blend or pound the shallots, garlic, chili, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass into a smooth spice paste.
- Heat the oil in a pot and fry the spice paste over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and the oil separates slightly.
- Add the water and tamarind pulp, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes so the sour flavour infuses the broth; strain out any tamarind fibres if needed.
- Add the tomato and salt and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Slide in the fish and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until just cooked through, without stirring too roughly so the pieces stay whole.
- Serve hot with steamed rice.
