Wash and clean the fish thoroughly removing the scales and dirt. Set aside.
Wash the fresh tomatoes, pepper, and onions, and blend using a blender till a smooth mixture is obtained.
Pour the vegetable oil into a clean saucepan and heat for around 2-3 minutes, then add the diced onions, ginger, and garlic and simmer for 2 minutes before adding the thyme, parsley, and bay leaves. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to bubble.
Now add your mixed veggie combination. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
Finally, add the tilapia fish and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring once (to avoid breaking up the fish). Serve your dish with banku, fufu, and/or kenkey.
