Malaysian Fish Curry |
|
|
|
|
Evenly roast 3 tb sp of grated desiccated
coconut in pan until colour starts to change. Add 2 tb sp oil; 3 - 4 inches
of a lemon grass stem finely cut; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 kaffir lime leaves
cut in fine strips; a good inch of galangal (Alpinia galanga; in German: Galgant) root, cut in fine slices (alternately,
grind the spices in a mortar or electric grinder); chopped
red or green chilies according to your taste and 1/2 tsp of curcuma. Fry spices
for 1 - 2 minutes. |
|
Add a cup of chicken or vegetable
stock, a spoonful of lime juice, a tsp of sugar and, optionally, a pinch of ground Indonesian Long Pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes,
then add about 1/2 liter (or more) of coconut milk and salt to taste. Let simmer for
another 5 - 10 minutes. |
|
Add some chopped pak choy stems
(if you can find small, young pak choy, add them whole or just sliced
lengthwise), a few Chinese (Shitake) mushrooms cut in slices and a handful of cherry
tomatoes; 3 minutes later add fillets of white fish cut in pieces. When
fish is nearly done (it just takes a few minutes, be careful not to overcook),
add chopped pak choy leaves, when done, add a few dashes of Thai fish sauce.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. |

South Indian red rice also goes very well with this curry. |
