Assam Curry Fish


Whipping up this curry is a breeze, all thanks to the ready cooked curry paste which I bought from the Kg. Simee market, for just only Rm2!



Ladies fingers or okra, halved bean curd puffs, halved tomatoes and the 'star' of this dish, black promfret.
The 2 rgt assam curry paste which will suffice for 1 whole fish and  ............ 'lo and behold' this is the end result .......


My favourite bean curd puffs, soaking in the curry ...... yummy


A delilcious, tangy and mouth watering one-dish dinner with protein, carbohydrates, fibre and vitamins .... All rolled in one!

Ingredients
  • 200 gm assam curry fish paste
  • 1 black pomfret - cleaned and cut into 3 portions
  • 2 tomatoes
  • a few pieces of okra
  • 10 pieces bean curd puffs
  • 2 cups of water
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

Just boil the paste with 2 cups of water, add in the tomatoes and bean curd puffs.  Next to go in is the okra and finally the fish.  Simmer for a while, add salt to taste and viola, it's done!



Note :  You can add in  some tamarind juice if you want the curry to be more tangy.

    Kristy. Give it a try. Quite often I use black pomfret for curries.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
