Pan Fried Tilapia With Sauteed Onions

I think the title is self-explanatory and the recipe is pretty easy. I'm a little wary of grilling or baking the fish as I can never get the exact level of doneness; they are usually too hard or not done right. I simply wanted to pan fry it, which I did initially, but then went on to saute the onions and just add whatever I could find. The result was pretty good but G complained that it was a bit bland. He likes everything fiery hot, so I am guessing they would be okay for most people. I just need to add more green chillies and red chilli powder for him next time, and maybe do away with the yougurt

Ingredients:

Tilapia fillets - 2
Salt - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - 1tsp
Turmeric powder - pinch
Ginger- garlic paste -1 tbsp
All purpose flour - 1/2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp

For the onion saute:

Onions, large, chopped - 1
Green chillies, slit vertically - 4
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Garlic cloves, chopped coarsely -2
Salt -1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Soy sauce - 1/8tsp
Hot sauce - 1/8tsp
Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Oil - 1 tsp





Preparation:

1. Cut the fish fillets into small rectangular pieces. Each fillet yielded about 6-7 pieces.
   
2. Place the pieces in a mixing bowl. Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste and combine well to coat the pieces. Adjust the seasoning to desired spice level. Add all purpose flour and combine well.
3. Heat oil in a skillet and pan fry the fish in batches, until browned and done. Remove from the skillet and keep them aside.
4. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and heat a little oil again. Add curry leaves, onions and green chillies, chopped garlic. Saute and let the onions fry until they get to a deeper shade of brown and not just translucent.
   
5. Add salt, red chili powder, soy sauce, hot sauce and stir well. Add yogurt, stir and let cook for another 3-4 minutes.
6. Return the fish pieces to the skillet. Stir gently and let cook for another 3-4 minutes. Serve hot, with a side of vegetables or steamed rice.
