Fish Sambal

It's one of my favorite mom's recipes. My mom is Malaysian and this 

sambal came from my mom. This fish sambal is a Malaysian recipe. 

Its a long process for making this fish. First, we have to marinate 

the fish and fry the fish. Then we have to make the gravy for the 

fish. This fish sambal is only done with Mackeral fish. But, once 

you taste this fish you will be addicted to this sambal like me.
