Asam Pedas Rebus Nenas

.
This is another version of Asam Pedas - the healthier version, I would say as no oil is being used to prepare it. Other than pineapples, you can also use other vegetables like brinjals or ladies fingers. But to me, pineapples are the best.

The sweetness of the pineapples created an amazing balance with the spiciness of the chillies. You'll have a complete hot, sweet & sourish taste in this one special dish. This time around, I've used the Tilapia fish, but any other white meat fish ( like tenggiri, kerisi, siakap, merah etc ) can do the job as well.
