About Burmese Fish Curry
Khin describes traditional Burmese fish curry as a bone-on fish preparation seasoned before it enters a tomato-based sauce. Turmeric, chilli, garlic and fish sauce flavour the fish.
Shallots, garlic and tomatoes form the curry sauce, with salt and further seasoning added as it cooks. Coriander and chopped green chillies provide the fresh herb and pepper finish.
The account also offers lemongrass, Burmese basil, coriander root and fish paste as additional classic flavourings. The fish remains the centre of the dish, surrounded by the aromatic tomato and shallot sauce.
