Fish is my all time favorite food and Tilapia is one of the very easy one to cook. Sometimes we generally simply fry the fish and have it, but if we use proper spices and then fry, it could be very delicious. Often in restaurants this dish would be served with boiled green beans but I wanted to make it tasty so that it could go along with the fish. You may have this with rice and daal or just have it as is.
