This series features tasty, nutritious meals that you can make in 20 minutes or less that you can make for yourself and your family. For some you might need to do a bit of meal prep beforehand while others you can make from scratch.

Tilapia, fried

Lemon/vinegar

Onions, chopped

Tomatoes, chopped

Dhania, chopped

Royco

Garam masala

Corn flour

Salt

2. In a big enough pan, fry onions until translucent. 

3. Add tomatoes and leave to cook until soft.

4. Add salt, royco, garam masala and corn flour (use wheat or groundnut flour if you don’t have corn flour) and allow to cook.

5. Pour hot water as you stir to prevent the formation of lumps. Ensure the water is enough to cover the fish. Leave to simmer.

6. Place the fish inside carefully and leave to simmer.
