Use non stick pan. Fry salted fish until brown. Drain fish and wash pan.
Heat up 1 cup cooking oil in non-stick pan. Add in ginger, blended large onion and
pickled radish. Stir continuously with a spatula, until onions turn light brown.
Cook on low fire. Add in lemon grass, garlic, shallots, chili, curry and buah keras paste.
Stir until onions are half-cooked and crisp tender.
