How to cook Thai Fried Fish in Tamarind Sauce:

In a frying pan or wok, heat the oil, and saute the ginger and garlic for a few seconds. Add the sugar, cayenne, salt, and scallions, and stir. Stir in the thick tamarind water and adjust the seasoning.
• Fry the fish in hot oil for about 5 minutes each side, turning them over once. Put the fish on a serving dish, heat the sauce quickly, and pour it over the fish. Garnish with gherkins and basil or mint.
