Seldom is the call for mock fish. In fact, I'm not sure why I ended up buying this vegetarian fish. Most vegetarian mock meat is basically about artificial colouring and flavoring, except the vegetarian mushroom stalk mutton (Vegetarian Mutton Rendang). I know. I guess slip of the mind is not the fault of nava-k. Instead of throwing, well, I thought I might as well cook. I'm sure there are takers for this vegetarian fish and potato sambal (Aloo Gobi, Mee Rojak Vegetarian, Corn Soup Indian Style, Cumin Rice, Indian Vegetable Curry & Yam Basket Vegetarian). So, I made it. Of course delicious if you are asking me.
Ingredients
250gram (1 block) vegetarian fish - sliced
2 medium (about 150g) potatoes - boiled till tender, cool down, remove skin and cut into pieces.
For the Sambal/Sauce
