While bananas are cooking, prepare the fish. Season the fish pieces with salt and black pepper.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure fish is patted dry before seasoning. - 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.

Pour in the water (or fish stock), add the fresh thyme sprig, and the optional hot pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If using a whole hot pepper, you can remove it before serving if you prefer less heat. - 6
Gently place the seasoned fish pieces into the simmering sauce. Ensure they are mostly submerged. Cover the pot and let the fish poach gently in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Avoid overcrowding the pot; cook in batches if necessary. Do not overcook the fish. - 7
