Instructions
- Pound the spice paste with a mortar and pestle or grind it in a food processor. Set aside.
- Soak the tamarind pulp in warm water for 15 minutes, squeezing constantly to extract the flavor. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.
- Heat oil and fry the spice paste for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the tamarind juice and fish curry powder, and bring to a boil. Add the tomato wedges, okras, and daun kesom, and bring to a boil again. Add the fish, salt, and palm sugar or regular sugar.
- Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked. Serve hot.
