Ikan Pari Masak Hijau

A few years back when I was still working, I remembered a collegue of mine reserved a Straits Peranakan Restaurant for a farewell lunch for one our collegue who was leaving the company.. The name of the restaurant if I am not mistaken was 'Casa Bon Vento'..located somewhere in Joo Chiat Road or near Katong area..this restaurant signature dish was baby sting ray marinated in sambal belacan...we loved this dish and only if I can get the recipe isnt it good, telling myself at that time..

Then  after a while, there  was this cooking programme in Suria channel, that featured this recipe which was demonstrated by the owner herself!!...wah quickly  search for a pen for this  recipe, but miss some part of it..while looking for one!! huwahaha..so basically ingat2 lupa lah ni..but I 've remembered  the main ingredients was to use baby stingray and sambal belacan..so below was what I adjusted myself for this dish, which I think almost like the real ones..hehe

 Ingredients:-
2-3 ekor anak ikan pari-dibersihkan, potong, gaul dengan kunyit & garam.
1 sudu besar bawang putih kisar
2 sudu besar sambal belacan
3-4 batang daun kari
3 batang cili hijau dihiris
1-2 sudu kecil serbuk lada hitam
garam & serbuk perasa secukupnya

Method:-

Kurangkan minyak kalau gunakan minyak gorengan ikan tadi. Masukkan campuran, sambal belacan, bawang putih, serbuk lada hitam dan tumis hingga naik bau. Masukkan lada hijau dan daun kari, kacau rata . Masukkan sedikit perasa dan garam kalau necessary dan gaul rata. Masukkan ikan pari yang telah digoreng tadi dan kacau gaul rata. Biarkan sekejap hingga tumisan tadi sebati dan meresap dengan isi ikan. Matikan api. Siap untuk dihidang.
