Ikan masak lemak daun kadok & daun kesum

This recipe was obtained from Ahmad Suhairi in FB (DrUwais Ahmadi in FB). It sounded delicious so I decided to try it one night.

2 ikan kerisi

1 packet santan powder

3 cloves of garlic

1 small Bombay onion

daun kadok - about 6 large pieces

daun kesum - about 1 handful

2 tablespoonful cooking oil

salt to taste

warm-hot water - about 1 electric kettle (1.7 litres)

1 packet ikan bilis seasoning for fried rice (use a little or entire packet)

How to cook

Thaw the frozen fish

Fry onion and garlic till soft and light brown

Cut the daun kadok with a pair of scissors to 1" width

Strip daun kesum from their stalks - should be able to get 1 handful

When the fish is almost done, add daun kadok and daun kesum. Stir to submerge all leaves
