Bazaar Ramadhan Recipe Courtesy of Makan Kitchen: Ikan Keli Salai Masak Lemak Cili Api

I've received 6 recipes each of Bazaar Ramadhan and Raya festive dishes courtesy of Makan Kitchen, DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur. They were contributed by Chef Fazli Baharudin, Executive Junior Sous Chef; and Chef Mohd Zulkarnean, Malay Sous Chef.

I'll be sharing the recipes with you over the next few days and if I have the time, I'm going to cook up some of these dishes. *fingers crossed* Hope you'll like the recipes which I find are very traditional by nature.

First one up is Ikan Keli Salai Masak Lemak Cili Api which is essentially Smoked Catfish in Bird's Eye Chillies Creamy Coconut Gravy. I'm afraid that I won't be translating the recipe as errr my Malay kinda rusty but if you have any questions, I'll try to see if I can be of much help hahaha.
