Here comes the delicious Fish Curry for a change. I love this curry as it is an original recipe from my grandma's kitchen, pass down to my mum and now I " inherited" it...wah, so lucky...hahaha. It is truly appetizing as it has a good blend of natural sweetness from the fish, taste the spicy and sour flavour gravy to grrrrrr the palate.....Again, being a lazy and busy mum, I dont have the time to gering (to grind) the rumpah (grinded spices) using batu gering (ancient stone grinder) but instead modern society has made many things much easier for us, that's great. I have a simple and easy approach to cook this Fish Curry without sacrificing the original taste. Most important I ensure the critical part of cooking this dish is not missed. I believe my late grandma will definitely be proud of me as my mama gives me compliment for my Fish Curry....no joke, my mum dont simple praise as she is a good cook...
