Northern Kampung Fish Curry

 I was thinking about something really hot for dinner and recalled that my grandma used to cook one type of curry every time we went back kampung (I was in primary school age then) which was my father's favourite. I'm not sure how that was cooked but remember red chili added into the curry. So I tried it with trial & error but the taste not even close but quite nice anyway.
