Fish Curry

Ingredients:
500g fish (i used red snapper)
1 stick cinnamon
3 cloves
3 cardamom pods
1 star anise
2 stalks lemongrass
50ml tamarind concentrate
25g pack Baba's fish curry powder (mix with a little bit of water to form a paste)
some tomatoes
some okras
cooking oil for frying
250ml water
salt to taste

Spice paste ingredients (pounded/blended - I pounded mine using a mortar & pestle because I personally think it makes the curry taste better):
3 fresh red chilies
6 bulbs shallots
4 cloves garlic

1. Season fish with some salt and set aside.
2. Heat up some cooking oil and fry the spice paste until fragrant and oil starts to separate. Add in the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamoms, and star anise. Fry for a couple of minutes.
3. Add in the curry paste and tamarind concentrate and stir for another 2 minutes.
4. Pour in the water and let it boil. Add salt according to taste.
5. Add fish, tomatoes, okras and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes until fish is cooked.

Best served with warm rice.
