Fish Sinigang sa Kamias Tips

Now let me tell you how I learned this Sinigang sa Kamias Recipe.  This is something I learned from my mother and have known how to cook it as long as I remember.  I remembered when my mother would prepare the Sinigang dish.  She would use fresh tamarind as her souring agent.  She would boil it and squish out all the juice and add it to the broth.

More About Fish Sinigang sa Kamias

Fish Sinigang sa Kamias is 30 minutes or less delicious soup dish.  It only needs to boil all ingredients, no need sautéing and it means less fat and oil.  You can use any kinds of fish from Tilapia, Red snapper, and Grouper.  You can also add more vegetables if you want.  For this dish, I use Bilimbi (Kamias in Tagalog) as the souring agent.  It is also known as cucumber or sorrel tree.  It is a tropical tree found naturally in Malaysia, Indonesia and in another part of Asia.  It is used both for cooking and as a traditional medicine.
