Ikan Pepes (Fish in Curry Sauce)

This East Timor Ikan Pepes is a whole fish cooked in a spicy curry and tamarind sauce. The fish is first steamed in a banana leaf and then grilled for that wonderful smoky flavor that only a grill can provide. Cooking a whole fish with the head on can be a little intimidating at first, but once over it, you can savor it, as it is mighty tasty!. Serve with some white rice for a lovely East Timorese meal.
