Prepare the Spice Mixture: Begin by coarsely grinding the red shallots and bird’s eye chilies using a mortar and pestle or a food processor until they form a chunky paste. This mixture will infuse your fish with a delightful spiciness.
-
Season the Fish: Add a drizzle of cooking oil and salt to the ground spice mixture, mixing it well. Carefully stuff this flavorful mixture into the belly of the bandeng fish and gently rub any remaining spice blend onto the skin for added flavor.
-
Preheat the Happycall Pan: Lightly coat the base of the Happycall pan with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Fish: Place the seasoned bandeng fish in the preheated Happycall pan. Close the lid and grill over medium heat until the fish is thoroughly cooked and the skin becomes slightly crisp, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the fish from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Serve it hot and enjoy this aromatic dish with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
