- Wash and Slice the frozen mackerel into desired size.
- Start boiling the sliced mackerel in water, adding a teaspoon of salt and a seasoning cube. Boil until they are fully cooked. Once done, scoop out the fish from the stock. Set the fish aside to cool.
- In a large saucepan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. 3. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- Next, add the chopped chili pepper and chopped tomato, cook until they soften and release their juices, stirring occasionally. This process usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Let the tomato juice cook down for another 7 minutes so it's not watery.
- Add the salt, curry powder, knorr seasoning cube, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.
- Add the fish stock until you get your desired consistency.
- Allow the stew to simmer over low heat for approximately 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- While the stew simmers, take the boiled mackerel and fry them in a separate pan with a little oil until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Once the mackerel is fried, gently add them to the simmering stew and stir carefully to combine. Be cautious not to break the fish into small pieces.
- Continue to simmer the stew for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the fish.
- Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or spices according to your taste preferences.
- Remove the stew from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the tomato fish stew with boiled rice.
