Directions

Heat a little oil in a heavy frying-pan, and carefully brown the fish. Meanwhile, in another frying-pan, fry the chopped shallots and garlic until tender. Stir in the chilli, ginger, turmeric, coriander, lemon grass, salam, salt and tamarind water.

2

Let this mixture simmer for 10 minutes, then put in the fish. Cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes.

3

Serve hot, garnished with very thin slices of cucumber and chopped mint. (Alternatively, put the cucumber and mint into the kare itself for the last 2 minutes of cooking).
