Hi all of you, how you doing? Long-time no see. Well, today I would like to share with you how I cook Selar fish with coconut milk. We love this menu, and this is my recipe from my kitchen. Let's rock!

Ingredient: 

• 1 Kg Selar Fishes, clean it and wash
• A handful of shallots, peel and mash it
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, peel and mash it
• 300 ml super light coconut milk
• 1.500 ml of water
• 15 gram of salt (add salt as you like)
• 5-gram onion powder
• 5-gram garlic powder
• 4 bay leaves
• 4 kafir lime leaves
• 500 ml of canola oil
• 10 gram of chili powder (if you like chili add more)
• Butter (little a bit to saute shallot and garlic)

These are what you do:

• Arrange selar fishes in a single layer. The oil should be hot enough that it sizzles when you add the fish. Fry the fish until golden brown. This will take 2 or 3 minutes after you flip it. 
• Then take aside fried selar fish on kitchen towel/ kitchen paper
• Saute shallot and garlic that you mashed with butter on medium flame. Add bay leaves and kafir lime. Saute until fragrant about 2-3 minutes
• Pour water, let it boil
• Pour super light coconut milk, stir it
• Add powder onion, powder garlic, chili powder, and salt. Stir them well about 2-3 minutes
• Add fried selar fish. Don't stir, just let it fully cooked. About 3-7 minutes
• Serve it!
