古来鱼 Gulai Ikan

There are so many versions of Gulai Ikan recipes out there and today I am trying out this simple version which is more towards my husband's preference.

市场上有许多版本的古来鱼食谱而我今天所制做的这项版本是倾向丈夫的口味而改篇的。

For this dish, it is best cooked with fish with meaty flesh such as spanish mackerel, sea bass or red snapper. If you like, you may also include prawns to enhance the flavor.

这道古来鱼的菜肴最适合采用任何多肉的白鱼，如马鲛鱼，金目鲈，红哥里或者马幼鱼即可。同时您也可以加入虾来添加鲜味。
