0:30 Remove all skin from fish fillets, ensure that no bones remain and cut
into serving-size pieces. Chop very finely the shallots, ginger, garlic
and chiles, and pound these together with the turmeric powder, tamarind and
soy sauce (or use a food processor). Heat the oil in a shallow pan and
stir-fry the spice-paste for four to five minutes, then add the fish, cover
with approximately one cup of cold water and bring to a boil. Lower heat,
season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook over a
very low heat until the fish is done. Serve with fresh vegetables and rice.
