What is Resepi Ikan Bakar Cencaru Mudah?
Before I dive into the recipe, let's talk about what resepi ikan bakar cencaru mudah actually means. For those who are new to Malaysian cuisine, "ikan bakar" refers to grilled fish, and "cencaru" is a type of fish commonly used in this dish.
Traditionally, making ikan bakar involves using a charcoal grill, which can be both time-consuming and tricky to get the temperature just right. That's where the pemanggang ajaib comes in. This nifty kitchen tool uses electric heating elements to cook food evenly and quickly, making it perfect for those who want to enjoy delicious ikan bakar without the hassle.
Ingredients
4 cencaru fish

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cooking oil
6-8 pieces of fresh turmeric leaves (optional)
6-8 pieces of banana leaves (optional)
Instructions
Clean the fish by removing scales, guts, and gills. Cut a few gashes on each side of each fish.
In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, salt, sugar, and water until everything is dissolved.
Spread the banana leaves on the pemanggang ajaib. If you don't have banana leaves, you can skip this step.
Arrange the fish on the banana leaves.
Pour the tamarind mixture over the fish, making sure to distribute it evenly.
Drizzle the cooking oil over the fish.
If you are using turmeric leaves, place them on top of the fish.
Cook the fish in the pemanggang ajaib for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the pemanggang ajaib and serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce.
