| Ingredients : 
            650 g fresh catfish 
            6 shallots, ground 
            1/2 teaspoon minced turmeric, ground 
            1/2 teaspoon salt 
            1 tablespoon margarine, melted 
            6 tablespoons cooking oil 
              
            Spices (ground) 
            12 red chilies 
            8 shallots 
            4 cloves garlic 
            1/2 shrimp paste (belacan) 
            2 tomatoes, chopped 
              
      
      Method : 
		Clean the fish and remove the scales, 
		gills, entrails, fins and head. Cut a slit along the underside of the 
		fish from the head to the tail. Careful not to cut off the tail. Rub the 
		fish with turmeric, shallots and salt. Stuff the fish with some of the 
		ground spices and grill over hot charcoal. Brush with melted margarine 
		at intervals until the fish is cooked. Heat a wok with oil and saute the 
		remaining ground spices until fragrant, then pour over the fish. Serve 
		immediately while still hot.
