Steps to Prepare the Meal.

Some people do not like spicy food, so they can ignore all the spices and go with just the tomatoes and onions. I love it spicy and also I prepared mine with fresh tomatoes. However, you can still prepare yours with tin tomatoes.

Step 1:

I remove my fish from the refrigerator, cut into desired slices and washed in a bowl, salted and allow for about 5 minutes before I fried it. You might want to use it without frying but I preferred to fry so that it does not scatter while I stir.

Step 2:

I washed my fresh tomatoes and cut into smaller sizes and blend using the blender.

Step 3:

Boiled the tomatoes after blending for about 15 minutes. Prepare all other ingredients and added in the boiled tomatoes. Allow it to boiled a bit and then you add the fried fish, vegetable oil and add your Maggi and salt to taste. You might as well add chili 🌶 but for me I do not consume chili. The sauce is good and ready to consumed.
