Ingredients:
3 mackerel fish,clean and cut into 1/2 if it's too large and long
300-400 gm okra,stump remove
2 tomato,washed and cut quartered
2 onion,skinned ,washed and quartered
1 packet Assam Laksa spices (Chan Hong brand)or Assam Fish spices
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp tamarind powder
2 tbsp sambal-belacan-paste
sea salt to taste
1 1/2 cup water
handful cilantro for garnishing
1:Heat medium skillet or wok with water at high heat.When water is rolling boil,add in Assam Laksa spices into the water.
2:Stir the spices,then add in tamarind powder,sugar and sambal-belacan-paste.When the gravy bubbly boil add in cut tomato ,okra and onion into the gravy.Cook those vegetables for 3-5 minutes .
3:Add in salt to your taste,then slowly add in cut mackerel into the wok or skillet.Cook the fish for 1 minutes , not longer or overcooked.Overcooked fish will disintegrate and have tough meat.

if you want extra spicy in the gravy,you can add in sambal oelok if you don't have sambal belacan.Sambal oelok can be obtain in any market.
