Ikan Belah Belakang (recipe Auntie Nab)

I must say, one of the best Ikan Belah Belakang I have tasted has got to be at Auntie Nab's.

In fact perhaps it was at her home that I first tried it. Cant remember. Anyway, hers was always so nice and when we were invited for lunch the other day, I took the opportunity to ask her for the recipe.

Simple aja the ingredients she gave me. She didnt mention the quantity though, but of course to save myself from looking like a dopey and trying to make my self sound knowledgeable in kitchen talk, me just nodded here and there and scribbled macam expert. He he

Anyhow, here are the ingredients

• Ikan kembung Hitam (you need to slice vertically it throughout the body)
• Bawang putih (she said bawang putih banyak sikit)
• Bawang merah
• Kunyit hidup (or could be substituted with tumeric powder)
• cili kering like a spoon or two
• a pinch of gula
• and of course salt to taste

You see what I mean....?? a bit of this and a bit of that... and walla.... :) :)

How it woudl really turned out when I try it, tak tahula. So peeps how bout YOU give it a go and tell me what are the correct measurements instead . :)

Till then. Happy cooking, holidaying, resting etc etc
