Simple Black & White: Fishy Curry

This is a very healthy dish with very less oil needed, actually the dish can be prepared without oil but i choose to increase the flavor. There's many many types of fish can be used in this recipe as long it must be fresh such as mackerel, salmon & snapper etc. etc.




Ingredients
Jenak fish-remove the bones & cut into cubes
300-400ml of water
5 shallots-finely chopped
5 cloves of garlic-finely chopped
1-2 inch of galangal (lengkuas)-finely chopped
2 stalks of lemon grass-1 stalk finely chopped, 1 stalk bruised the edge
1 teaspoon of cooking oil

Seasonings
1-2 teaspoon of chili flakes
1-2 teaspoon of brown/palm sugar (adjust to your taste)
1-2 tablespoon of fish sauce (adjust to your taste)

Methods
Blend the galangal & lemon grass
A quick sauté of shallots & garlics on the a pot
Add the blended galangal & lemon grass
Pour around 300-400ml of water into the pot & bring to boil
Add in the lemon grass (bruised edge) & chili flakes
Stir well & simmer in low heat for 15mins
Add in the fish & simmer for another 5-10mins-depending on the fish size
Lastly, add in the seasonings to taste


As I mentioned the dish can be done without oil, just skip the step 2 & add all the ingredients into boiling water. Besides fish, seafood such as prawns, clams & squids can be used in the recipe also, lime juice can be added if desired. Explore your senses & enjoy.
