Directions
1. In the oil, gently fry the lemon grass, peppercorns, garlic, chili, cinnamon, and cloves until the flavor is released 2 minutes at the outside.
2. Add the fish sauce and stir in gently. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk.
3. Place the carp in a pan and pour over the coconut milk mixture. Add the lime juice and fresh cilantro and stir. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
4. Remove the fish and place on a serving dish. Garnish with the strips of lime peel. Heat the sauce and boil for a few minutes to reduce and thicken. Strain until a plain milk is left. Pour this over the carp.
