Note:
Pindang water could be easily bought in Bali but for us who couldn’t buy it, we could make it ourselves, it’s real easy
– 500 gr Indian mackerel (or other kinds of mackerel)
– 5 tbs coarse salt
– 2 tbs tamarind
– 4 garlic, bruised
– 1.5 liter water
– Boil all ingredients until fish is done, cool down the pindang water before using.
– You could fry the fish to accompany rice 😀
