Ingredients

• 1 large gurame fish (cleaned, with lime juice and salt applied)
• 1 carrot (sliced thinly into matchsticks)
• 1 large onion (sliced)
• 3 shallots (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (sliced)
• 5 red bird’s eye chilies (sliced)
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 5 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (dissolved in water)
• 150 ml water
• Salt to taste
• Sugar to taste
• Seasoning to taste (such as Sasa or other preferred brand)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fish: Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry the gurame fish until it is golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Sauté the sliced onions, shallots, garlic, and red chilies until they are fragrant and golden brown.

3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the water and bring it to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook until they are tender-crisp.

4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce and chili sauce. Season with salt, sugar, and seasoning according to your taste preference. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.

5. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch dissolved in water) to the pan. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

6. Assemble the Dish: Place the fried gurame fish on a serving platter. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the fish, making sure to cover it generously.

7. Serve: Garnish with additional sliced chilies or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately while the fish is still crispy and the sauce is warm.
