Fish Curry

I have nothing else to write. This is just a simple fish curry recipe. I came back from work and food is served on my dining table. It is magic!...Hahaha..of course cooked by my wife..So I quickly grab my camera and take a couple of snap for Selera Malaysia reader.

Actually in Malaysia, the most famous curry fish is fish head curry. This is a dish where the head of an Ikan Merah, is semi-stewed in curry with vegetables such as okra and brinjals and usually served with rice. It is so delicious. If I have time, I will make one and post in Seleramalaysia.com.
