| Heat the 1 tablespoon of [[Oil|oil]] over medium heat. Add the [[Ginger|ginger]] and [[Shallots|shallots]], sautéing until the [[Onion|onion]] is translucent and softened (about 3 minutes). A
| dd the [[Garlic|garlic]] and remove from heat shortly thereafter being careful not to burn the garlic.
| In a saucepan combine the [[Tamarind|tamarind]] concentrate, [[Sugar|sugar]] and water. Bring the mixture to a [[Simmer|simmer]] over a medium flame. Cook until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
| Stir the [[Tamarind|tamarind]] mixture into the [[Shallot|shallot]] mixture that is still in the [[Skillet|skillet]]. Add the [[Chilli pepper|chilli pepper]] (if using), [[Cinnamon|cinnamon]], [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]], [[Bay leaves|bay leaves]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]]. Thoroughly stir the mixture, cover, and bring it up to a [[Simmer|simmer]]. Cook for 5 minutes.
| Add the [[Fish|fish]] and coat each side with the [[Sauce|sauce]]. Continue to [[Simmer|simmer]] for 15 minutes more or until the [[Tamarind|tamarind]] sauce has thickened and the fish is done. The fish should easily [[Flake|flake]] apart with a fork.
