Steps
01.
To make the curry stock, set a sauce pot over medium heat. Stir-fry the chilli paste, coriander, corn oil, curry leaves, curry paste, curry powder, garlic, lemongrass, red onions and turmeric powder until fragrant, about 5 mins.
02.
Add water, bring it to the boil and let it simmer for 20 mins.
03.
Add the eggplant, ladies’ fingers and tau pok to the curry stock, season with salt, and cook for 5 mins.
04.
Add yoghurt and turn off the heat. If you like tamarind juice, you can stir it in now.
05.
Season the fish head with salt and place on a plate with ginger slices and spring onions. Steam the fish head for 12 to 15 mins.
06.
When the fish head is cooked, transfer it to a deep glass plate and pour the fish curry over it. Serve hot.
