Thai fried fish with garlic and turmeric, known as pla tod kamin ) in Thai, is one of my favorite ways to eat fried fish. Read the full recipe now: Ying and her family are from the south of Thailand, so when Im at home, with her family, we tend to eat mainly southern Thai food - as thats predominantly what her mom cooks. Anyway, thats totally fine by me, because Im a lover of all food from the south of Thailand. One of the dishes that my mother in law frequently makes is called pla tod kamin, which is basically a Thai deep fried fish with turmeric and garlic, and I think it happens to be one of the best ways ever to cook and to eat a deep fried fish. Youll find this Thai dish in Bangkok at southern Thai restaurants and throughout the south of Thailand. This is actually a pretty simple recipes, and even when I was visiting the United States, I was able to find all the ingredients for this (although I made this recipe in Bangkok. Ok, here are the ingredients youll need for this spectacular Thai dish: Fish - and I used 2 small fish which equally out to about 1 kilo together. I used a fish called pla daeng in Thai, which is an ornate threadfrin bream. Its a good fish because its small enough to fry easily, and once its finished cooking, the fish remains nice and firm. But you could also use another fish like a tilapia or mackerel can both be used. Salt - a few pinches of salt to season the fish before frying them Garlic - 250 grams of garlic, and for me that came to 7 full heads of garlic Turmeric - 150 grams fresh turmeric ) rhizome, which was a nice handful Oil - enough oil for frying, I think I used about 1 liter, but depending on the size of your wok or pan may determine how much oil youll need to use. Be sure to view the full recipe here but Ill quickly recap the steps for making pla tod kamin ) here: The first thing to do is peel your garlic, and then take your fresh turmeric and chop it up into small pieces. In Thailand most people use a mortar and pestle to then pound the turmeric and garlic. But alternatively if you dont have a Thai mortar and pestle, you could also use a blender or a food processor. One thing to note is that you dont want the mixture too fine, its not like a curry paste, you just want to break it down and release their oils. The fish should be de-scaled and gutted already, then just sprinkle a little salt on them. Then take the turmeric garlic mixture and rub it all over the fish. Then go ahead and put your oil into the wok and start to heat your oil. Once the oil is hot, you can slide in the fish (only the fish, not the garlic and turmeric yet. It should take about 5 - 8 minutes to deep fry on each side of the fish. You want to gently keep and eye on it, and remember to use your spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to make sure it doesnt stick to the pan. Once your fish is all the way golden and cooked through, take it out and drain it. Now go back to your garlic and turmeric, and deep fry that for about 10 minutes or so, until it becomes golden and crispy. You want to continually mix it, so it doesnt stick or clump. Thats about it for this southern Thai recipe for fried fish with garlic and turmeric. Like I mentioned in the video, this is honestly one of my favorite ways to eat fried fish, I think the garlic and the turmeric enhance the fish so incredibly well, and with a fresh plate of hot rice its hard to beat

Pls let people know that the Thai little purple garlic will only be available in Thailand. The most beautiful garlic I had ever tasted. whenever I travel to Thailand, I ask my friend's housekeeper fried two big jars for me to take home. It will still be crunchy, fragrance & kept in the fridge for two years.

Here's a tip after the garlic and turmeric have been rubbed into the fish when you remove it to fried pat it dry and the fish will float on the oil no sticking. Looks good never seen the root got to look for it

hey mark, would it have been better to fry the tumeric and garlic first before frying the fish? my only reasoning is so that the oil is infused with the flavors of garlic and tumeric. it looks delicious none the less
