Gulai tempoyak anyone?



Many of us like gulai tempoyak ikan patin. Ikan patin is not easy to get , the one that is sold in the market not as good as patin sangkar from Pahang. So the replacement of regular masak tempoyak ikan patin is --masak tempoyak ikan tenggiri or ikan kembung. Then, there's the problem of where to get the tempoyak , my advice is go to Giant or Jaya Jusco or pasar malam and buy prepacked isi durian ( if we buy whole durian that would be more expensive and we are not sure wether they are good or not ).



To further save money plant pokok cili ( red chilli and cili api ) which is the most important ingredient in any masak tempoyak. Also plant some daun kesum and turmeric for the leaves and fresh turmeric which is second most important ingredient.Chilli, kesum and turmeric plants are easy to grow in pots.


So, blend red chillies and cili padi with fresh turmeric, bring to boil,add durian or tempoyak, turmeric leaves and daun kesum, a little bit of sugar ( to balance the taste ), salt to taste and one or two slice of asam keping ( if you don't have asam keping, squeeze one or two slices of lime ). Finally add ikan tenggiri or ikan kembung,let it boil for a few more minutes and you can enjoy the lesser version of ikan patin masak tempoyak !.
