Recipe: Tilapia Curry

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!
