Fried Fishball in Spicy Tumeric Coconut Milk (Bebola Ikan Goreng, Masak Lemak Cili Api)

My favourite way of cooking, creamy tumeric coconut milk (masak lemak). This time trying out a different combination, using fried fishballs and prawns. Still taste as good and yummylicious.

Ingredients : (serves 1-2)


8pcs Fried Fishball

4 pcs Prawns (medium size)

2 strands Long Beans - cut short

1pc Shallot - finely minced

1pc Red Chilli Padi - chopped

1pc Lemongrass - bruised

1pc Asam Keping / Asam Gelugor

1 tsp Tumeric Powder

1 pc Kaffir Lime Leaves

30g Coconut Milk

50ml Water

Salt about 1/4 tsp or to taste

1 tsp Light Soy Sauce

1/4 tsp Sugar or to taste

1 tbsp Cooking Oil

Garnishing: (optional)

*1pc Kaffir Lime Leaf (Daun Limau Purut) - thinly cut


Method :

1. Heat up oil in pan. Saute minced shallots till fragrant. Then add in chilli padi, lemongrass, asam keping, tumeric powder. Toss for about 1 minute.

2. Pour in coconut milk & water. Put in long beans as well. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 2-3 mins until long beans soften.

3. Add in fish balls, prawns and kaffir lime leaf and let it cook for about 4 mins till prawns are cooked.

4. Then add in sugar, salt, light soy sauce and mix well. Cook with lid covered for another 1 min to let it absorb all the flavor from the gravy. The gravy will slowly thickens.

5. Garnish with kaffir lime leaves & chilli padi. Dish out & serve hot with steamed rice.

Happy Cooking.
