Ingredients

  • 500g Nile Tilapia (cleaned and rinsed with salt and vinegar)

Ground Ingredients:

  • 3 shallots
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 4 candlenuts
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of turmeric
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of galangal
  • 2 stalks of green onions
  • 1 ripe tomato

  • 10 whole bird’s eye chilies
  • Juice of 1 lime

  4. Incorporate the Fish
    Finally, gently add the pre-fried Nile tilapia into the pan. Stir carefully, ensuring the fish absorbs all the delightful flavors of the sauce. Allow it to cook for a few minutes, letting the dish meld together beautifully.

  5. Serve
    Once everything is well combined and heated through, transfer the dish to a serving platter. Enjoy this vibrant Pesmol Ikan Nila with steamed rice for a truly authentic experience.
