Hot and Spicy Curry Fish
5 qtr of curry sauce for 5 more dinner!!
I bought 2 lbs of okra in Chinatown last week.The okra is going to turn black since it's been almost a week old.The aunty who sell it at the road side won't let me 'pick' because she said it's very cheap item.$1.00 per pound but anyway,I dunno the different to pick which is good or which is bad,so I just let her pack it for me.I guess right now is harvest season for all vegetables.Okay,what am I going to cook with this okra?.Stir fried dry shrimp with sambal or fish curry?.I guess,I like fish curry since I bought 4 pieces of Mackerel.Actually,I want to use that mackerel for keropok lekor but I must make a mistake thinking Ikan Kembung and Ikan Parang is the same family.Keropok Lekor use Ikan Parang which Ikan Parang have less tiny spike bones.
I didn't get to buy any ready made Curry Fish Paste .All I have is Assam Fish Paste in three different companies.I think I never see any Curry Fish Paste in the market from any company made in Malaysia.I have Cap Burung Nuri Fish Curry Powder as well as Baba's Curry Powder which I bought from the city.You can always get from mytasofasia online store.They have a large selection of Malaysia paste and sauce.Since I'm using Burung Nuri Curry Powder, I still have to work my spices from the scratch.I start to cut and pound my ingredients in pestle(batu lesung).I bought my pestle in marshallsonline for $15.00,not too bad,right?.Of course I have food blender but I'm too lazy to put it together and take it out and wash one by one after finish .I have to microwave galangal(lengkus) for 5 minutes because it's fresh but in frozen form.You can get fresh galangal vacuum pack from any Asian food mart in frozen section.
Here is my own recipe..

I prefer to cook with non stick anodize pot.I don't have to worry about burning or sticking at the bottom.I hear some people or expert said it's much healthier than the regular pot which can be rusty.Mostly all my pots and woks which I have ,I bought it from macys .I think Macy's have good price for is clearance sale.Sometimes the price can go down beyond other speciality store.When my Curry fish is ready on the table with my white rice Mishu come over.She said "mommy!!....eat!!."Memo and Tory"!!.."Tory,Memo Fish!!..she point to my 2 fish with head attached.She want to eat curry fish!!.She love Nemo and Dory but she still want to eat them!!Well,I feed her with my chopstick since it have lot of small bone.She finish the whole fish and asking for more water!.She said"hot"hot"!!..but keep eating!!..She still asking for second one,I told her tomorrow.Now I have a' member'(kaki) to eat curry with me!!.Viola!

Thanks for your yummy sounding recipes. I was searching for "Cap Burunig Nuri" curry powder to see if was a good brand. On the subject of OKRA. I live in the south of USA where okra is a prized summer veggie. Best is young small okra. Bright green is best, with soft fur on the outside. The larger they get the tougher they get. You can grow okra easily but you do not plant until the soil temperature is 70 degrees F, so it is planted late. But it grows fast (full sun) and gets tall, wear gloves and pick okra every day before they get big. It is related to hibiscus and has similar pale yellow flowers. Do not ever pick okra barehanded and then cut up hot peppers. You will have invisible little punctures from the okra plant and the hot pepper juice will get in your skin and you will not be able to sleep that night ! I know, I did it once.
