My dad missed my grandma’s cooking and I remember he said that my grandma used to make very nice Lemak Nenas with Ikan Sepat Masin. Although I have no chance to taste my grandma’s cooking (she no longer cooks this dish since she can’t take coconut milk anymore), I manage to stumble upon Miche’s blog Simple dish online on this dish.
Here is my simplified version.
- Fresh Prawn
- Sambal Ikan bilis (I use leftover from our favourite Nasi lemak stall)
- tumeric
- belacan
- thick coconut milk ( I used instant coconut milk)
- Salted ikan sepat goreng
Verdict -with salted fish added (only once everything is boiled so that the bones would not come off easily) the gravy is so tasty. I can just drink spoonful of gravy even without rice. However I think it would be more spicy if I add more sambal to this dish (as you can see the gravy is not that red in order to accomodate hubby’s sensitive stomach).
