grilled fish in tomyam paste

i adapted this recipe from Kak Rinn's fotopages for hubby's dinner today....the recipe uses readymade tomyam paste/cube, but none is available in my kitchen, so i ended making the paste myself...

the outcome was superbly, mouthwatering and absolutely delicious!!! hubby asked for more rice today as he really enjoyed the fish very much!!

1 whole fish (i used tilapia fish)

blend:
1 tomato
1 onion
2 red chillies
a little bit of galangal

kaffir leaves
1 lemongrass, pounded lightly
tamarind paste
salt and sugar to taste
coriander leaves for garnishing
1 lime

• wash and clean the fish, make slits on the body.


• brush some tamarind paste on the fish, leave aside for a few minutes


• meanwhile, prepare the blended ingredients


• coat the fish with blended ingredients, lemongrass and kaffir leaves. add sugar and salt according to taste. marinade for 20 minutes


• put the fish in a baking dish. bake in oven for 20 minutes
