Our wonderful neighbour Ela, gave us 2 very big ikan haruan (measuring more than 1 foot) recently which became our lauk today. Ikan haruan is our choice fish for this dish, which can be substituted with ikan kerisi if ikan haruan became scarce or too expensive for our wallet. The following recipe is a rough one; please adjust to your taste.
A. Main Ingredients:
2 medium size ikan haruan, cut into 8 pieces
1 stalk bunga kantan
2 sprigs daun kesum
2 pcs asam keping
B.Mix and grind in a blender:
2 cm galanggal
2 cm tumeric
3 pcs onions
2 tsp chili paste
5 sticks cilipadi
C. Liquid
Thick santan from 1/2 coconut
2 cups of water
Juice from 5 limau kasturi
D. Seasoning
Salt
Kerisik (optional)
Steps:
Combine bunga kantan, asam keping and B in a pot. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Then, put in fish, santan, and daun kesum. Lastly, pour in limau kasturi juice, salt and kerisik. Using low heat, let the gulai simmer until the santan turns slightly oily.
