I would be very surprised if you could not find Tamarind in Nigeria,@Wisnu can you get tamarind there?
I salut youNew Year evening :
I went for something a bit different from the usual stuff.
Blanquette de poissons or Fish Blanquette.
Quite some ingredients and of course there is a process to follow.
Mise en place :

Plated, served with Basmati rice

Was pretty good for a "premiere", but can be improved :
- I didn't had fish broth (impossible to find here, too late to make some "homemade"), so I used vegetable stock. It sure does impact on the final flavor.
- Should have put 200 / 250 ml of white wine instead of 150 ml
- The prawns are too hard, next I will replace them by scallops.
But still, we both rated it "very good".
A tip re the lack of fish broth - you can usually find dashi sachets in the supermarkets here - its a japanese instant fish stock and I have used it with some success.New Year evening :

I found bonito flakes at Delta Dewata in Ubud but couldn't find Kombu seaweed. Maybe nori would work. Did you know the original MSG or ajinomoto is the white stuff on dried Kombu?Thanks, meanwhile I found (and ordered some) on Shopee.
"Katsuo Dashi" or Bonito stock.
