2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, with some remaining oil, sauté the sliced garlic and shallots until they release a fragrant aroma, taking care not to let them burn.

3. Add the Spices: Introduce the sliced bird’s eye chilies and tomato to the sautéed garlic and shallots. Stir well and cook until the tomatoes soften and the chilies release their heat, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture appears dry, you may add a splash of water to help it along.

4. Incorporate Tamarind: Next, add the pieces of tamarind (asam kandis) into the pan. Let the mixture simmer briefly, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

5. Season the Mixture: Add a pinch of sugar and salt to taste, balancing the flavors of heat, sourness, and sweetness.

6. Combine and Serve: Once the sautéed mixture is bubbling, pour it generously over the crispy gurame fish that you set aside earlier.

7. Enjoy: Your Tumis Gurame Pedas Asam is ready to serve! Pair it with steamed rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
