A Kenyan inspired dish, Tava Fish is popular amongst many. a ‘tava’ is a skillet of frying pan and a lot of Asians will have this in their kitchen to cook dry dishes like this fish. It is basically a pan fried fish dish so we recommend a firm fish, like tilapia but you can use cod or any other fish fillet that you prefer.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons Nico’s Polle Polle© Spice Mix
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• ½ teaspoon Garlic paste
• 2 fillets of Tilapia or any other fish
• 1 teaspoon Carom Seeds (Ajwain)
• Butter for frying
• Coriander
• Lemon

Method:

In a bowl mix the Nico’s Polle Polle© Spice Mix, ginger, garlic, ajwain. Rub over the fish fillets and leave to marinate for a minimum of 3 hours. If you can, marinate the day before to get the full flavours of the aromatic spices in our Nico’s Polle Polle© Spice Mix. In a frying pan, add the butter and melt and add the fish. Shallow fry on a low heat for approximately 15 minutes. Garnish with coriander and a wedge of lemon.
