Fried Fish with Tamarind Juice
List of Ingredients
2 pounds firm white fish - whole, fillets, cutlets or steaks
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Peanut oil for shallow frying
1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup tamarind liquid
2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili paste

Recipe
Rub fish with the salt, turmeric and pepper. Heat the oil and fry the fish over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the wok and add the garlic. Stir fry until the garlic is slightly browned.
Add tamarind liquid, soya sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar and chili paste, and bring to a boil.
