This is one of my favourite recipes. You can use frozen tilapia, but I prefer fresh tilapia fillets.
Ingredients
- 1 lb tilapia fillet cut into 8 pieces
- salt (to taste)
- 1 tsp tumeric
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp corriander
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 4-6 green chillies
- optional 1 green bell pepper (or any bell pepper)
- water (enough to make some gravy)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Preparation
- wash fish with water and then with lemon juice
- coat with salt, turmeric, chilli powder and set aside so that it can marinate for a bit
- chop ingredients in the meantime
- heat oil, saute fish and set aside
- fry onions, add garlic, ginger, a bit more red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin, corriander and stir fry
- add tomatoes and stir fry
- add salt
- add fish
- add green chillies, green pepper (optional) and water
- cover and cook 5-10 minutes
- add lemon juice
- simmer
Serve over brown (or white) rice -I prefer brown rice (Brown Basmati rice is great!)
Mmm..yummy!
