🧂 सामग्री
- 2 medium Whole tilapia(cleaned and scaled)
- 1 kg Yam(peeled and cut into chunks)
- 250 g Peanut butter(smooth, unsweetened)
- 2 medium Onions(1 chopped, 1 quartered)
- 400 g Tomatoes(chopped)
- 1 inch piece Ginger(grated)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Boil the yam: Place the peeled and chunked yam in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Prepare the fish: Score the cleaned tilapia on both sides. Season generously with salt. Heat palm oil or vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the tilapia until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.

Make the groundnut sauce: In the same pan (or a separate pot), add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion until softened. Add ginger, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using whole, pierce it). Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down into a sauce, about 10 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and crumbled bouillon cube (if using). Gradually add water, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, thick sauce consistency. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well-cooked and the oil separates slightly.

Season the groundnut sauce with salt to taste. If you used a whole scotch bonnet, you can remove it now or leave it in for those who like it spicier.

Serve the fried tilapia with the groundnut sauce spooned over or on the side, accompanied by the boiled yam.
