Assalamu Alaikum to all. How are you all my isthmian friends? I came today to participate in steemit bigchef06 contest in steem cameroon community. The recipe that I bring you today is learned from my mother in law. I could never cook before my marriage. My mother-in-law taught me how to cook. I would try to learn cooking from the side watching him cook and cook. That's how I learned cooking from him, when I used to watch cooking from him, I used to cook it alone and experiment when I was alone. And mother's cooking at home is definitely a healthy food. Mother's hand cooking is far ahead of restaurant food. So I always try to make healthy food at home and feed it to people in the family.

What is your favourite traditional delicacy?

My ingredient for today's meal is fried pangas fish. This fish is usually very oily. Children can't eat this fish because of the oil. However, this fish has less bite so it is convenient to feed children. So children can eat very fondly and taste the meat inside this fish like that today I will show you the cooking method. I learned this recipe from my mother in law. In this way pangas fish was roasted and eaten by us since then I like cooking this fish very much. If you cook in this way, children and adults will love to eat it and will forget the difference between eating fish.

Do you prepare it or order from a restaurant?

I prepared it not from any restaurant but I made it at home. I enjoy eating healthy food that I make at home more than the guaranteed restaurant food.

Why do you like this particular meal?

I prefer this dish because I love any fish fried. And if the fish has to be cooked like meat, then there is no question. I don't eat this fish very much ever since I had this recipe cooked by my mother-in-law and I love this recipe.

Mention the ingredients used and step by step process of preparing this meal.

Below are the ingredients used to make this dish and the step by step process.

Step 1,

First, pangas fishes are cut into small pieces like meat. And smeared them well with turmeric salt.

Step 2,

Then heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, fry the fish. The fish should be fried a little hard.

Step 3,

When the fishes are deep fried I keep them in a bowl.

Step 4,

Now heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions and chillies in the oil for frying.

Step 5,

When the onion turns brown, add all kinds of spices one by one. Turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt are added to the spices. Add garlic paste and a little ginger.

Step 6,

When the masala is grated, now I will pour the fish. Then I will take the fish for a while.

Step 7,

When the fishes are grated, I will add a small amount of water this time.

Step 8,

This time, the fish will continue to cook for a while, when the broth comes out, I will close the oven.

Step 9,

And sprinkle a little ground cumin over the fish. It creates a nice flavor in the fish.

Step 10,

The fish is cooked now. This time I will serve pangas fish in a bowl.

Is there any history behind this particular meal?

There is no history behind this particular dish. But suddenly one day when I ate the dish from my father-in-law's hand, I became a fan of this dish. And since that day, I try to cook like my mother-in-law. This is the special reason I learned this recipe.

What is the nutritional value of this meal?

This food is very nutritious. Because eating oily fish is very beneficial for the body. Hey pangas fish contains a lot of oil. It is a very vitamin rich food to feed children. It helps to increase the amount of oil in the body of children by consuming this food.
