Lemak Cili Padi Ikan Cod ( Kod)

Sedapnya ikan cod masak lemak cili padi.

Lemak ikannya and literally rasa macam fish fingers dari kotak biru cap fisherman (nelayan-orang puteh) yang di goreng.

My prev attempt i used the trusted batu lesung instead and titik serai, lengkuas & halia

Result: power la dey sampai orang request buat lagu.. huhu 

Kalau malas blend je semua takde titik-titik

Tapi klw nak masak tapi takde daun kunyit, takde buah keras/buah pala & lengkuas, i rasa lebih baik beli, buat serak & buat penat je. I rasa since nk effort just do it properly. 

Biar cukup syarat. Betul tak?

Selamat mencuba♡

1 pkt frozen Cod fish (1.5kg to 2kg)

BLENDED:
8 shallots /3 med red onions
7 to 10 garlics
2 inch / 2 thumb sized ginger
1/2 inch fresh tumeric / (1 tsp powder)
10 to 30 pcs cili padi
Ikan bilis (secubit) 10 to 20 pcs

Others:
3 stalks of lemongrass/crushed /titik
(can blend if like)
1 inch galangal crushed /titik (optional)
1 tumeric leaf torn to pieces (must have)

2 pcs asam keping
(or just a bit of tamarind juice)
2 cups of santan (coconut milk) & water/
Milk (i pref fresh milk)

Veg: (optional)
Carrots / potatoes/ bamboo shoots / pineapples /tomatoes

Seasonings:
Salt and sugar to taste
1tsp Nutmeg grated/powder (optional)
1tsp candlenut grated/powder (optonal)

Instead of salt replace with 2 knorr ikan bilis cubes. If you do then don't add ikan bilis to the blended ingredients

Mtd;
* no oil/frying required

Add all crushed & blended ingredients into a pot and let it simmers on medium heat till fragrant.

Add tumeric leaf
Add desired veg. (Xcept tomatoes)And continue to simmer till thickens a bit.

Add coconut milk & water mix.
Stir a couple of times and turn to low heat.

Keep stiring to avoid (pecah santan) curdling

*i would add another 10 pcs or so of whole cili padies into the gravy

Add tamarind piece/juice & seasonings.

Bring to a slow simmer before adding fish to the gravy 

(tamarind helps prevent fish from breaking easily & usually used in most seafood lemak cili padi)

Turn off heat once the fish is cooked
