And to add delicious taste can be mixed with salted fish. Usually the head of the fish becomes an option to be incorporated into the curry / Pliek-U sauce.
All vegetables are chopped and boiled until soft. Then put the seasoning that has been milled except the salted fish head in the vegetables. Let the spices are absorbed by the vegetables and then added coconut milk (which is not too thick), then cook to boil it.
