I made 'Salmon Fish Head Curry' last night for our dinner with simple ingredients available in almost every home and here are the ingredients that I used. I got the recipe from 'Mdm. Vasandra Davi Ramalingam' (I call her Auntie Vasandra) but I've modified the recipe to suit my own taste by adding dried prawns, Anchovy Stock and Malaysian Palm Sugar with it.  She's a Malaysian Indian, born in Kuala Lumpur and now residing in Subang Jaya, Selangor. Auntie Vasandra is definitely an expert in this area👉(Malaysian Indian Cuisine) and she's my Malaysian Indian cuisine mentor. You can also use Spanish Mackerel Head for this recipe if you like.
