Fish Balado (Javanese call it Gereh besek)

Hi all...
How are you guys?
May you always be healthy and enthusiastic to carry out every activity

Today I made lunch. Even though it's the weekend, I have to work. I made a simple and uncomplicated lunch. I made Balado Fish. Honestly, this is one of my favorite foods. When I was in the village, my mother used to cook balado fish. I learned from him. Why is it simple? because the ingredients are also not much and the manufacturing process is not long nor difficult.

This fish in Java is called gereh besek. Balado fish is a home cooking. Usually Javanese people must be familiar with this dish. even in my village, almost every house often cooks this food. The taste is savory and delicious to make not stop to eat it.
