Fry tilapia for 3-4 minutes on each side for bigger pieces, and 2-3 minutes for smaller pieces until golden brown.

Remove fried tilapia from the pan.

Add remaining fish to the same frying pan.

Add chopped onion to the pan and fry until golden brown.

Add approximately 3-4 tomatoes to the pan and mix well.

Add half a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of spice, and crushed black peppercorns to the mixture.

Place the fried tilapia back into the pan and cover with the tomato sauce.

Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
