Okay...I am actually updating my humble blog whilst watching THE ROYAL WEDDING Prince William & Princess Kate Middleton on E Channel :) I know, its awesome, huh?
Guess what I cooked today at 4 p.m.just before the Royal Wedding started? I cooked fish curry. I named it KARI SEMALAM [Yesterday's Curry] because it will taste better the folowing day. Usually, I'll use Spanish Mackerel but today, I tried using Salmon. I couldn't find Spanish Mackerel at the market today. But I strongly suggest you to try your level best to find Spanish Mackerel when you want to try cooking this recipe. Here's the recipe for all of you to try.
KARI SEMALAM RECIPE
2 cuts of Spanish Mackerel
[cleaned and rubbed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Rinse and put aside]
50g [about 8 tablespoons] of fish curry powder (mixed with a little water to form a paste)
2 slender Asian Eggplants, halved lengthwise, cut into three pieces
6 ladies fingers
2 fresh tomatoes, cut into wedges
3 green chillies
1 cup of tamarind juice (taken from 2 tbsp of tamarind paste)
1 cup of coconut milk
4 cups of water
1 cup of coconut milk
4 cups of water
3 sprigs of curry leaves
vegetable oil for frying
salt to taste
Pounded ingredients:-
7 shallots
3 cloves garlics
1 inch ginger
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
Methods of Cooking:-
1)Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat and cook all the pounded ingredients until fragrant.
2) Then, add in the fish curry paste
3) Add coconut milk, tamarind juice and water, mix well.
4) Add the eggplants, ladies fingers, tomatoes, green chillies and curry leaves. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
5) Add the fish and season with salt. Bring to a boil and simmer (reduce heat a little)until the fish is cooked. Remove from heat and serve with white rice or simply enjoy it with white bread.
It is so easy to cook this dish that you can have it with your family and friends within an hour. So, it fits very well for a busy woman and also for overseas students who must be very busy with their studies.
That's how the curry looks like in the pot. YUMMY!
I used this brand of curry powder. BABA's Fish Curry Powder. For those of you living overseas, you may try to find the curry powder at the Asian Markets. I managed to find BABA's Curry powder in Australia. There is a chinese shop selling foodstuffs from Singapore and Malaysia.
Curry Leaves. The fragrant will make loads of difference.
Green Chillies, Tomatoes, Asian Eggplants (hidden behind the tomatoes)
Ladies Finger
Tamarind Juice
Salmon. Like I said, please..please..please use ONLY Spanish Mackerel. Your curry will taste nicer with that fish.
Remember to keep the unfinished curry in the fridge for next day's consumption. Just in case you wish to add more ladies fingers & eggplants the next day, you may do so. After bringing the curry to boil, add the vegetables and simmer for about 10 minutes. Then, enjoy Yesterday's Curry!
