While the smoked seabass drizzled with a herby sauce is a standout, this dish is further elevated with a puree starring the local eggplant, 'terung dayak'. It is often used as a substitute for tamarind in recipes that require a tangy element and adds the perfect zest to the puree that completes this dish.
