Tamarind Fried Fish/Ikan Goreng Asam Resep

Have you tried Tamarind Fried Fish? It’s a fascinating dish where fish is soaked in tangy tamarind juice before being fried to perfection. If you love zesty flavors, this dish is a must-try. I’m a big fan of such vibrant tastes, and Tamarind Fried Fish, with its lively kick, hits the spot. Even if you’re not usually into zesty foods, pairing this fried fish with a spicy soy dip might just open your taste buds to new flavors (EASY FISH HEAD CURRY).
You can use any
type of fish for this recipe. I’m featuring two varieties: torpedo scad (cencaru)
and mackerel (kembung). Each type of fish (CRISPY FRIED PRAWNS) comes with its own unique dip, making
both versions of this Tamarind Fried Fish equally delightful and easy to
prepare.
