Ingredients:

4 whole tilapia (about 500g each)
4 tsp hot chilli powder
6 tbsp onion purée
4 tsp ground ginger
4 tsp hot curry powder
4 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
4 tbsp prepared mustard
1 vegetable stock cube

Method:

Clean and scale the fish then season liberally with salt and black pepper.

In a bowl, combine the oil, ginger, curry powder, chilli powder, onion puree and vegetable stock cube. Mash until smooth then use the mixture to rub all over the fish, both inside and out. Set in a dish, cover and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

During this time, heat your barbecue or grill. When hot, use to cook the fish for about 10 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Serve hot, accompanied by deep-fried plantains and a sauce made from the left-over marinade mixed with the prepared mustard.
