👨🍳 步驟
- 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. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 2
Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk and water, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
- 3
Add the tamarind liquid, tomatoes, eggplant, and okra. Season with salt and sugar (if using). Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 4
Gently add the fish head pieces to the simmering curry. Ensure they are mostly submerged. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Avoid over-stirring to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

Taste and adjust seasoning. If the curry is too thick, add a little more water. Garnish with curry leaves if desired. Serve hot with rice.
