Tumeh Thok - Ancient Taste

Saleum for all of steemians...!!
I've been missing to share Acehnese ancient cuisine. So, this time I share you one of my favorite savory taste of fish Thok. This is one of fish that can easily found in our fish market. I bought this fish right from the seller by the beach. My bad, I don't know this fish's name in Indonesian language nor English. I just copy what the fish seller said (because I just got into this fish eater club since living here in Lhokseumawe almost one year a half :D). So...this is it; Thok Tumeh ala JU (hope Farah Quin doesn't mind I'm using her famous tagline:D).

Ingredients:

• 300 gr Thok fish
• lime
• salt
• water

Spice:

• 5 Red chilies
• 6 shallot
• 1 garlic
• 6 dried blimbi
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1 cm ginger
• 1 tsp turmeric
  Fry:
• 1 shallot
• 1 Pandan leaf
• 6 Cury leaves
• Cooking oil

Instructions:

1. Wash the fish, squeese lime and sprinkle salt.
2. Grind all the spice then pour into fish.
3. Heat the oil then fry shallot, pandan and curry leaves.
4. When the good smell comes out enter the fish.
5. Add in water and salt.
6. Cooked until oil comes out.
7. Serve.

It just a perfect lunch with a plate of warm rice. Have a try. :)
