1 thumb sized ginger (chopped)
2 small tomatoes (chopped)
1 bunch of mustard leaves

Heat some oil in a pan. Fry the tilapia using medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel and then set aside.

Turn the heat to low and then add the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce cook for a few minutes using low heat until the sauce is slightly thicker.
