Tuna is locally known equally ikan tongkol, ikan aya or ikan kayu, depending on which soil yous are in.
It’s a budget friendly fish as well as my fish beingness at most 1kg earlier cleaning is sold at RM8/kg.
Gulai ikan tongkol is unremarkably eaten alongside nasi dagang, or the other agency round, whichever way, LOL.
It is dissimilar from Kelantan’s version. From what I remember, Kelantan’s version is to a greater extent than yellowish, tasting slightly to a greater extent than “curry like” possibly due to its turmeric content. Whereas Terengganu’s version is to a greater extent than “assam”, equally inwards sour.
Whenever I move to Kuala Terengganu, I volition endeavor my best to receive got my Nasi Dagang laid upward at Kak Pah’s located at Pantai Batu Burok. It was where I had my kickoff Nasi Dagang. vii of us having breakfast alongside 21 plates on the table. Each somebody were given 1 plate of rice, 1 plate of fish, 1 plate of pickled vegetables, so, yous tin create the maths. Whole tabular array filled alongside plates! It was a funny sight bespeak around, is this mine, is this yours… LOL. Kak Pah’s rice has this boing boing texture that I uncovering difficult to forget. It gustation similar eating Bario rice. And her gulai ikan tongkol is really nice, spicy as well as sourish.. perfect pairing alongside the tacky rice. The sourness raises the appetite as well as decreases the cloying resultant of kokosnoot milk infused pasty rice. I loved it sooo much that I drank all the gravy. When I came dorsum from my trip, I happened to encounter a Nasi Dagang Terengganu recipe featured inwards the Star. I speedily cutting it out as well as kept it, only it’s at my mom’s house. I didn’t larn dwelling to larn it for this spider web log post.
On my fifth trip to Terengganu, I introduced this dish to my as well as thence swain (now husband). Maybe he was tired from the whole East Coast trip as well as sleeping on unusual beds, thence he didn’t intend equally good much of the rice. But when I cooked it this time, exclusively did he actually gustation the gulai, the rice as well as gave me skillful feedback. And my MIL said, “We could’ve made this for Reuben’s birthday the other day. It’s exceptional as well as nice.”
I don’t desire to comment equally good much on my receive got on this, only I tin say, I tin endure proud of myself.

It's a park do to purchase the ready mixed spice for gulai ikan tongkol, only since it's exclusively easily available inwards Terengganu, it'll endure difficult for others to replicate it at home. And I constitute this recipe suppposedly from a imperial ready for the Terengganu Sultanate that uses a ratio of 2:1 of coriander seeds to fennel seeds, thence I made my ain spice mix alongside this given ratio.
My gulai also looked really carmine due to the chilli stone oil all floating to the top. My dried chillies are rather carmine as well as spicy. I similar to purchase from once certain shop exclusively because dried chillies bought at other places aren't equally intense, color as well as flavor wise. It's my error that my kokosnoot milk released equally good much oil, only the color is indeed attractive :)
