Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1-2 green chilies, slit (adjust for spice preference)

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
