Hi this is Yogi, I have been working in retail for almost 10 years and I am found of this recipe

verities like bulls eye spotted and striped ,they can wigh upto 5 to 7 kgs
How to cook Snakehead fish head curry ?
Fish head curry is very delicious because it's slightly thicker than other fish curries ,It is also richer
although it does not uses coconut milk So, let's take a look at the cooking ingridients.
1. Big snake fish head
2. Jasmine rice about 1 cup
3.1 Bulb of Garlic
4.Ginger
5.Shallots
6.Dried chilies
7.Tamarind Pulp
I'm going to tell tips and tricks to make really delicious fish head curry Let's start with rice... Now,
this is just plain jasmine rice I did not wash it All ,I'm going to do is just pan fry it dry At low to
medium heat ,All we're going to do is to ensure that it gets browned
Then we're going to put it aside What rice does here is to actually thicken the curry There are
actually more reasons why we use rice in this dish , While waiting for the rice to brown, we're going
to blend these ingredients Garlic, shallots and also dried chilies which are soaked and also
deseeded I almost forgot... ginger With some tamarind paste... we're going to add water to it Mix
well
Once the solution is mixed well, we're going to add it to the fish, Marinate the fish for about 10 to 15
minutes with this water This would also help to get rid of the fishiness from the fish, In this recipe,
I'm using pink striped snake head fishes, if you like Fishes like salmon would be too oily
The taste would be too strong, We want to taste the curry here instead So, I have a big striped
snake head fidh head I'd cut it into 3 parts Of course, for fish head curry, you need to have fish
head So, if you don't want to use it, you may also use other parts of fishes like the fillet or you want
to use the tail itself It's really up to you
Now, we're going to let it sit for a while The rice had already browned This is the colour we
expected Just going to put it aside. Now that the rice is browned, all I'm going to do is to add it into
a pestle and mortar Just crush it until it's fine,
In this recipe I'm using a premixed fish curry powder Now, you can get this at Indian stores In
Malaysia or Singapore, you can just go to the supermarket and look for fish curry powder
Now, if you don't have it, use any curry powder mixture that is meant for meat, fishes or seafood
That would also do the trick If you want to make your own curry powder which is meant for fish or
also meat you can do it.
Now, for this curry powder, I'm going to add a bit of water All we're going to do is to mix it until it
turns into a paste. Now that we have the blended ingredients, the curry paste, it's time to cook So,
over here in the wok, I have a bit of oil We're going to add some sliced brown onions
Once you can smell the onions, that's when we're going to add curry leaves Give it a few quick stirs
and that's when we're going to add mustard seeds and also fenugreek seeds, If you hear the
poping of the mustard seeds, that's when we're going to add the blended ingredients As usual, stir
fry for a while until it turns slightly reddish... slightly darker in color.
Then, we're going to continue with cooking As you feel that that the oil is beginning to separate
That's when we can add the curry powder paste Now once again hen you realized that the oil
starts to separate, that's when we can add rice that we'd crushed earlier and also water
After adding water, increase the heat to let it boil Now that it's beginning to boil, we'll add the fish At
the same time... vegetables So, we have ladyfingers/okra, tomatoes and also brinjals/aubergines
Now, allow this fish to boil for about 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the fish that you have
This whole fish that I bought is about 1kg So, I'm going to boil it for about 8 to 10 minutes until it's
just cooked... just nice We're not going to overcook the fish We're going to take it out and set it
aside So, if you go to 'Mamak' stalls or a banana leaf rice restaurant, you'll realize that sometimes
the fish head is just placed by itself on a plate or on a tray That's because they don't want to
overcook the fish
We're going to do the same Just before serving, we're going to add it back into the curry Let's wait
until this boils The fish is fully cooked So, let's remove it Right now, we're just going to let this
curry simmer for about another 40 minutes Now, by doing so, you're going to let the curry release its
flavoures
That's why... leave it aside Don't do anything We would also want the vegetables to be really soft
too Now, it's really up to you how soft you want it to be, I like it really soft but not mushy soft Just
soft and nice as you bite into it, as you sink your teeth into it So, let's leave this aside Before that,
I'm going to add a bit of sugar just to sweeten the curry
A bit of salt and a little bit of tamarind paste So, this is going to make the curry a little bit more
flavourful Of course, although salt is very important in this dish So, go easy... less is more Mix well
As always, Now, give it another 40 minutes
We'll get back to it The curry had been simmering for about 40 minutes Before tasting that, we will
need to add the meat back into the curry Just increase the heat Let it boil and then, you can switch
the stove off Just like that... increase the heat, let it boil Then, you can turn off the stove It is
beginning to boil, so turn the stove off That's about it
the Fish head curry is ready It looks so good this recipe is the toughest I know If you think that you
can conquer this recipe, you can conquer the other recipes They are just so simple Now, before I
let you go, remember to subscribe to my blogs if you have not
Of course, we are all waiting for the taste test I am also really waiting for it Now, I'm going to try it
First, let's take a look at the curry So, it's really thick and nice Beautiful colors Going to take a
little to taste Guys, this is the fish head curry recipe that you are waiting for Trust me, it's just so
good Then, I'm just going to take a pinch of meat
The fish is not overcooked... it's just nicely cooked and then we removed it, remember? I cannot
wait to flood my rice with this Okay...
