Sting ray was not a popular fish before, but now the demand for it is so great that its cost has escalated many times more. But we have to eat!
What I Used:
About 700g sting ray, cut into chunks
(Before cutting, remove the black skin(topside) or scrape with a knife to remove the 'dirt'. I prefer to remove the skin. Next scrape the white part(underside) to remove the slime. Rub salt and scrub with hands, then rinse and cut)
1 large onion, sliced
3 to 4 kaffir lime leaves
1 tomato, wedged
To be ground:
2 medium-sized onions
4 dried chillies, soaked and drained
2 fresh red chillies
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon belachan
1 packet coconut cream (I used Kara)
salt to taste
water
oil
What I Did:
1. Heat oil and saute sliced onions and ground ingredients till the oil comes through.
2. Add fish and stir gently to cover the pieces with the spices.
3. Add some water and simmer till fish is cooked.
4. Add kaffir lime leaves, tomato and coconut cream and some water (depends on how much gravy you want). Add salt and bring to a boil. Remove from stove and serve.
I remember eating this when I was in West Malaysia...one of my favourite curry dishes then. I wish I can get sting ray here to cook. The meat tastes really good.
ReplyDeleteMan are the same - cannot take vegetables and bland food for too long. Sometimes, I think my hb must be happy that I don't cook cos he gets to eat something different. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteHmm ... I like this dish. Yummy to go with rice.
ReplyDeleteI love spicy food, looks so appeitising!
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten a sting ray till I know my hubby. Somehow, sting ray goes really well with spicy sauce. and yours looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteIs there a possibility that I can have your email?

ReplyDeleteHi Ladies,
ReplyDeleteI love sting ray cooked the spicy way. My husband also loves a non-spicy sting ray dish called Kuah Lada which I have posted some time ago. Thanks for coming by.
Edith,
Will post email on your blog post
I have never cooked with stingray before, maybe I'll try to, one day. The only time I have stingray is the 'Ikan Bakar'. Your curry is mouthwatering!
ReplyDeleteWow, this look so tasty...love spicy food and this look just right :-)
ReplyDeleteIkan Pari always reminds me of Penang... Too bad we can't get them in Sydney. Love your spicy sauce.
