Ingredients:

1 kg Hammour slices or fillet (ikan saya guna fillet ikan pecah periuk dengan jenahak)

1 tomato (big chunks)

2- Heat the oil on medium heat and place the fish slices to gain a golden color on both sides and transfer it to a dish and set aside.

3- Take some of the oil (about 5 tbsp) you used with fish and place it in a pan, add the chopped onion and stir for minutes to golden, add garlic, turmeric, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, cinnamon stick and dried lemon and stir then add the tomato paste, tomato, and hot green pepper, stir then add water and fresh cilantro.
