Marinate the snapper fish pieces with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder.
Heat cooking oil in a pan and fry the marinated fish until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and set aside.
Coarsely blend the large onion, garlic, red chilies, and bird's eye chilies in a food processor.
In a pan with some oil, sauté the blended chili paste until fragrant and cooked through.
Add the tamarind slices, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, and a little water. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Return the fried fish to the pan and gently toss to coat the pieces evenly with the sambal.
Cook it hands-free.
