I just returned from a trip to Bali where I picked up some tamarind so I thought I would try this recipe out. We enjoyed it. I was a little apprehensive as it is not the most appetizing looking but it is really flavourful-a tangy lemon taste. I didn't add any mint as I don't like mint in my food. I did consider using basil but did not. I would make this again. It is tasty and healthy way to eat fish.

<p>I live in the DC area and I love to cook. It is definitely my creative outlet. I like to start with a recipe tweak it to make it fabulous. I don't have a big family to cook for so I throw a lot of parties to try out new recipes, or just invite people over to eat. My friends are very willing guinea pigs. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
