Do This
- Get your ingredients together. Cut the fish into medium sized pieces, and set aside.
- Put flour into a wide deep plate. Add 1 tsp salt, turmeric, mild curry powder, and lemon, garlic ‘n herb seasoning. Mix until well incorporated.
- Dip each fish piece into the egg first then into the flour, then place into a platter. Repeat until all the fish is coated.
- Heat oil in a pot and fry the fish in batches just until it is golden brown on both sides. Remove from pot and set aside.
- Add onion and garlic to the same pot used to fry the fish. Fry for about 2 – 3 minutes the add the tomatoes, tomato puree and tomato sauce. Add salt and stir. Allow this to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add water and stir. Return the fish to the pot, reduce heat and allow this to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, giving the fish time to suck in the flavour from the soup. Avoid turning it unnecessarily as this may cause it to break apart.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Enjoy!
