Roughly chop tomato, tatache, shambbo, and rodo with onions in a food processor to make a pepper mixture and set aside.

Season the tilapia fish inside and out with salt and garlic powder, ensuring to coat thoroughly without over-salting.

Leave the seasoned fish to marinate while preparing the sauce.

In a pan, add oil and the pepper mixture, along with seasoning powder and curry powder, and fry properly.

Once the sauce is ready, transfer it onto the marinated fish, ensuring to coat every part.

Score the fish by making cuts on both sides to allow the sauce to penetrate better.

Wrap the fish tightly in foil to keep steam and flavor inside.

Place the wrapped fish in the oven or grill for 40 to 45 minutes to cook through.

After 40 minutes, remove the fish from the oven, unwrap it, and transfer it back to the oven to grill uncovered for another 15 minutes at 200°C.

If using a grill or charcoal, add more coal to increase heat for grilling.

Serve the grilled fish with fried yam and grilled plantain.
