Assam Pedas Fish Fillet

It has been ages when i had my last assam pedas at home, last night my Assam Pedas cooking was MA-MA-MIA..... a good one and very satisfying!! My food judge Husband, he really enjoy eating them, can see from his extra portion of rice!! but it really was a successful cooking. How would l know it was good? i compare to the best assam pedas in town. Its easy to become your own judge, once you use eat out, eat any kind of food everywhere, anywhere from the lowest to the finest restaurants, not affraid to try different cooking, trying same cooking from different quality of cooks, you will know how good is your own cooking and way you go judge yourself.

anyway, Assam Pedas fish can use whole fish or fish fillet ( up to you basically). Last night, I was using fish fillet, it was easy to eat and no worries of the little bones.. i think i will prefer to use fish fillet for my next assam pedas too. My ingredients are very simple, easy and fast to cook, so here is my recipe and enjoy cooking like i do!! :)
