Notes
You can use fish or meat curry powder. Difference is that fish curry powder has slight sour-y flavour which is great for seafood and meat curry powder is more savoury and fragrant. If the taste of sardines or mackerel is too fishy for you, add about 3 tablespoons of asam jawa juice to your curry to mellow it down.
