Assam Fish Delimas





Last summer, our neighbor's peach tree had so many fruits that after giving me a huge basket full of peaches, there were still more left for the birds. The firmer peaches were sour as they are not ready for the table, so i added some to the assam fish and they were so good, giving this dish a new twist.


Ingredients:

1 lb Spanish mackeral steaks

4 unripe peaches

2 tomatoes

4 ozs okra(i use the frozen ones)

1 packet DELIMAS - Assam Seafood (This is available online from http://mytasteofasia.com/)


Method:

In a microwave-safe bowl, stir the packet of DELIMAS - Assam Seafood with a cup of water.


Put in the fish steaks, cover and cook on high for 4 - 5 minutes.


Add in the peaches - cook for 1 minute (the peaches should be fork tender - if not continue to cook further).


Add in the frozen okra and tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute to warm up the vegetables.


Enjoy with white rice
