Yesterday, I was fasting. So, I prepared the fish curry for my "buka puasa" (breakfasting). My family likes to eat curry may it fish curry, beef curry or chicken curry. The longer you keep the curry, the taste will be better. But, some people do not want to keep it long, they like it fresh. Its up to you because we have different taste each other, right? There is important tip when you want to cook curry, you must cook the curry paste or powder (mix with water) well. You can know the curry is well-cooked when you see the oil comes up to the surface, then only you can pour the coconut milk and so on and so forth. Here is the basic recipe for the fish curry.
Ingredients:
600g fish (cleaned)
600g fish (cleaned)
3 tbs vegetable oil
1 onion (chopped)
3 garlic (chopped)
2cm ginger (chopped)
curry leaves
1 stick of cinnamon
2 star anisse
3 tbs curry powder (paste)
2-3 cups of coconut milk
tamarind juice
6-8 ladies fingers
salt and sugar to taste
Method:
1. Heat the oil.
2. Put the onion, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, cinnamon, star anisse until fragrant.
3. Mix the curry powder with a cup of water and pour into it.
4. Pour the tamarind juice together.
5. Wait until 8-10 minutes until it is well cooked (the oil will come out to the surface signifies it is well cooked).
6. Pour the coconut milk and wait until it boils.
7. Put the cleaned fish and boils for another 5-6 minutes.
8. Add sugar and salt to taste.
9. When it is almost done, you can put in the ladies fingers (optional) or any greens.

I tried cooking this dish the other day, and the result was quite good, although maybe not the same, haha! because I didn´t have some of the ingredients, such as curry leaves, coconut milk and ladies fingers (what are "lady fingers"????), and I changed tamarine juice for lemon juice...
So I´m afraid it´s "Kamakitchen's Fish Curry" the "Capricuerna way", hahahaha!!! but it was fun trying!!
Dear Monica,
Thank you for trying the recipe. Without curry leaves you can make the fish curry because it is only the flavor like oregano for italian recipe. Yes, without coconut milk your curry will also nice, because those who want to control cholestrol do not put coconut milk. Only, Malaysian food always mix with coconut milk. You can replace coconut milk with fresh milk (mix with lemon juice) to make yoghurt. The result may be better...Thank you for trying.The ladies finger can be replaced with brinjals,or any other greens that you like!
