Spicy tamarind fish and herb stew (Ghalieh mahi) from Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories (page 160) by Naz Deravian

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    It was a little salty but really good! I was surprised at the amount of cilantro in the recipe but the tamarind gave it a really nice flavor. If mAke it again!

    Fantastic! Also much quicker than the other stews I have tried from this book. I made a half recipe with halibut. Will try again with cod or shrimp. I loved the tamarind/cilantro/chili/fenugreek flavor combo.
