Recipe for Tilapia Fish Curry

If you are health conscious then you must know the importance of fish, we all need it as it gives lots of protein to us. Fish oil has lots of benefits, particularly if you have diseases related to heart, high cholesterol, weight loss, depression, anxiety, cancer etc. I am from a costal belt and we often get lots of sea food in a cheap price. I love hilsa, pamphlet, shrimp a lot but here is a recipe for you that I tried with tilapia fish. This fish is commonly available in Southern India, if you live outside of India then you will find it everywhere.

Spicy Tilapia Fish Curry Ingredients:

• Tilapia fish (1lb)(You can use any fish here)

Process of Making Indian Fish Curry, Cooked with Tilapia Fish:

• Keep the fish in oven for 20 minutes at 400-450 degree Fahrenheit, I would like to bake the fish using oven as I don’t get the smell out.
• Take a pan and add 2tbsp oil, when oil becomes hot add whole garam masal and onion. Fry it until it becomes golden brown.
• Add ginger garlic paste and fry it 1-2 minutes then add coriander powder, cumin powder, chili powder and fish masala.
• Fry it till oil comes out from the masala. Add chopped tomato and fry it for 5 minutes.
• Then add boil/baked potato and fish with the mixture, stir it well. Add 1 cup warm water and boil it for 5 minutes.
