Ikan Tenggiri Masak Lemak (Spanish Mackerel Cooked in Coconut Milk)

My boys love this dish. My masak lemak is a mild version.

Ingredients:
(Blend)
5 shallots and garlic,u can put more if u like
4 red chilies
2 green chilies
2 bird eye chilies
1 piece turmeric, you can use turmeric powder (1/2 tsp)
1 stalk lemon grass

Blend all the ingredients.

5 pieces of ikan tenggiri (spanish mackerels)
2 cups of thick coconut milk
1 cup of water
2 tsp of tamarind juice
turmeric leaf,thinly sliced
salt, sugar to taste

1. Saute the blended ingredients.
2. Add some water and let it simmer for a while.
3. Then, add coconut milk. Cover.
4. Let it boil for a while and add the fish.
5. Add salt and sugar. Cover.
6. Lastly, add turmeric leaf and serve with hot rice.

Besides using the fish, you can almost 'masak lemak' quite every thing. You can try chicken, pumpkin, salted fish, tapioca leaves, shoots and some even use cabbages as well as bean sprouts too.
Try the recipe, it's so easy to make especially for a busy person like me..:)
