Garlic 4 cloves
Fresh Turmeric 1 cm
Coriander Seeds 1 teaspoon
Candlenuts 2 pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Paste: In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic, coriander seeds, bird’s eye chilies, and red chilies. Blend until smooth, forming a fragrant spice paste.

  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant. Incorporate the chopped tomato, bruised galangal, lemongrass, bay leaves, and lime leaves, stirring well to combine.

  3. Add the Fried Fish: Once the spices have cooked down and the oil has surfaced, gently add the fried mujaer fish to the pan. Cook until the fish is thoroughly coated with the spice mixture and the flavors meld, ensuring the fish remains tender and moist.

  4. Finish with Kemangi: Finally, fold in the fresh kemangi leaves, allowing them to wilt slightly while retaining their vibrant flavor and aroma.

  5. Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the dish from the heat. Serve your Mujaer Bumbu Kuning Kemangi warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
