Fried Fish with Turmeric 
(Pla Tod Kamin)

This is southern Thailand on a plate. Fresh fish is rubbed with fresh turmeric and garlic, then fried until the skin turns crisp and deeply golden. Turmeric brings an earthy fragrance and that unmistakable yellow colour. Some cooks add lemongrass, coriander root or white pepper for even more fragrance.
