Ingredients:

1     whole         fish - (abt 1 lb)
                    === SAUCE INGREDIENTS ===
8                   garlic cloves
1/4   cup           coarsely-chopped green jalape�o peppers
1/4   cup           coarsely-chopped red jalape�o peppers
1/4   cup           thinly-sliced green onions
                    (scallions/spring onions)
1/4   cup           chopped coriander/cilantro including
                    the roots if possible
1/3   cup           fish sauce
3     tablespoons   palm sugar
3     tablespoons   lime juice
1     teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper
4                   fresh kaffir lime leaves - (to 5)
1/4   cup           chopped sweet basil leaves
3     tablespoons   cooking oil

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

The fish is cleaned -- the sides slashed and the fish is either dredged in flour or coated with a light batter -- and then deep fried in fairly hot oil for about five minutes each side. The fish is then removed to a large plate or serving platter.
Sauce: In a medium skillet on medium heat, heat the oil, then add the blended ingredients. Stir continuously for about 3 minutes. Add the lime leaves and the basil, and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the fish to serve.
This recipe yields ?? servings.
Comments: In Thai "kimao" means drunk. However unlike the Chinese "drunken" dishes, which are marinated in alcohol, Thai "kimao" dishes not marinated in alcohol but typically consumed with alcohol. You can use any sort of fish. You want one weighing about a pound. Thais leave the head on.
