I nailed it!

You know that sour spicy runny curry often served with tosei?

I understand it's a similar recipe for Southern Indian fish curry but it's made into a vegetarian curry sauce instead.

So, first clue: use fish curry powder.

Then, as I often found bits and pieces of eggplant and mangoes in it, it's therefore crucial to have these two fruits in the curry.

By chance today we found asam belimbing/belimbing buluh.

Semi-ripe mangoes gave sweetness and tartness.

No sugar or jaggery was required to balance the sour flavour.

Thus a similar curry was successfully made!

It was delicious!

Other things on the table:

Roasted ayam berempah
Sambal telur (egg sambal)
Jelatah (pineapple and cucumber salad)
Pappadom

Come learn with me, as I'm a master at reverse-engineering a recipe 💃🏻😝
