Today we're making Asam Pedas or Fish cooked in a Spicy Tamarind Gravy. Asam Pedas literally translates as 'Sour Spicy'. This is a Malay style of fish curry, it's spicy, sourness makes it addictively more-ish, especially when served with rice.
I used Tenggiri here, or Mackerel, but you can essentially make this with your favourite fish, such as salmon (my fave!), sting ray, snapper, or pomfret.
