👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook until tomatoes break down, about 5 minutes.
4
Pour in the diluted tamarind juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Add water or fish stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering curry. Ensure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce, sugar, or tamarind if needed. The curry should have a balanced sweet and sour profile.
7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, with lime wedges on the side.
