Whenever we come across of grilled fish or ikan bakar, air asam or tamarind dipping sauce is a must. There's no grilled fish without the sensational tamarind sauce. Now you can make your own tamarind dipping sauce with this simple and easy to make recepi at home. The most important thing in making the dipping sauce is just be generous with the ingredients. No cooking involved just add all the fresh ingredients with tamarind pulp and dish out as a perfect partner in crime for your grilled fish.
I added kerisik or toasted coconut paste for an additional kick to the sauce. You may use store bought kerisik or make your own by toasting coconut till deep brown and pound to release the oil. Kerisik adds texture to the sauce, if you're are not a fan of kerisik do omit it. Enjoy the fresh taste of onion and tomatoes with a heat from the chillies which works perfectly well as a dipping for your favorite grilled fish.
