Welcome to the channel, introduction to the dish.

Introduce the ingredients: minced fish (butterfish), ginger, galangal, turmeric, salt, garlic, candlenut, black long pepper, red chili, lime leaves, lemongrass, and sugar.

Chop the spices into small pieces for easier grinding.

Grind the spices into a paste using a mortar and pestle.

Add 2 tablespoons of the spice paste to the minced fish.

Add finely chopped lime leaves and some salt to the fish mixture.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Use lemongrass sticks instead of bamboo skewers for skewering the fish mixture.

Form the fish mixture around the lemongrass sticks, twisting and wrapping it around like a lollipop.

Preheat the charcoal grill until hot.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.

Remove from the grill and serve with peanut sauce.
