For this dish, I used fried hake, although cod or similar white flesh fish would work equally as well. The 3 tastes of this dish are spicy, sweet and sour. It is served on a bed of coriander leaves, peanuts and deep fried kaffir lime leaves. The fried kaffir provides a crispy citrus taste when you eat them.

Ingredients
400 gms Fish (Hake, Cod Haddock or Similar)
50 ml Tamarind Water
2 Tablespoons Sugar
5 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons Chopped Chillies
2 Tablespoons Chopped Spring Onions
1 Tablespoons Peanuts
1 Tablespoon Chopped Coriander leaves
4 Kaffir Citrus Leaves
Oil For Deep Frying

Preparation
1. Slice the fish across ways, into 3cm fish steaks. Deep fry in pre-heated oil, until the fish is golden brown.
2. Boil the tamarind water with the sugar and fish sauce together for 2 minutes to create a sauce.
3. Deep fry the peanuts and kaffir leaves for a few seconds. The kaffir leaves will become crisp.
4. Onto a serving plate, place the coriander leaves, the chopped chillies and chopped spring onions to make a bed to sit your fish on.
5. Place the fried fish on top.
6. Pour sauce over the fish, and top off with the peanuts and kaffir leaves.
