Ikan Bilis, aka anchovies. A tiny bit or a handful goes a long way for stir fries (Brinjal Stir Fry) or for a flavourful Malaysian style broth (Bee Hoon Soup). The other option will be quite a handful of bilis for a dry style dish. Like this Spicy Potato Ikan Bilis/Anchovies. Quite a favourite actually, for us Malaysians? For me personally, yes. Furthermore, like I like to say. The marrying of potato (Chilli Potato) and ikan bilis, plus spiciness and aroma of curry leaves?
Ingredients
3 medium size potatoes - simmer and slice with the skin on
2 tbsp anchovies - soak in water for 10 mins and drain of water
1 red chilli - slice
1 green chilli - slice
5 shallots - slice thinly
3 sprigs curry leaves
3 tbsp oil
Salt for taste
Method
When oil is heated, fry anchovies until crispy.
Remove and keep aside.

ReplyDeleteI wonder whether you have been to "Ravi's Banana Leaf", located at Dataran 3 Two (32 Square) 19/1 Petaling Jaya.
We went there the other night. The Curry was really fiery hot. I think maybe you might like it.
