Filed under: Malay Food and Desserts — September 28, 2006 @ 5:45 pm

This goes great with white rice, is healthy to eat and easy to do.  I might just try it this weekend.

Ingredients:
2 pomfret fish
3 shallots
2 garlic
1 large onion
½ ginger
½ inch fresh turmeric
3 red chillies
Coriander leaf
Some tamarind juice
Banana leaf
Salt
 
Method:  Blend all ingredients; add tamarind juice to the blended ingredients.  Mix thoroughly with the pomfrets.  Wrap the fish in banana leaf (can also use aluminium foil).  Steam or grill for 20 minutes, slow heat.
