coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fresh fish

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned fish

Tofu provides a plant-based option that absorbs flavors well.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity at a lower cost.

Wash the tilapia thoroughly with warm water and salt.

Add the tilapia to a pot without oil, as the fish and peanut butter are oily enough on their own.

Season the fish with salt and a maggi cube or beef stock.

Boil for 30 minutes, then check the fish.

Blend the tomatoes to add to the pot for flavor.

Add chili peppers to taste, adjusting the amount based on preference.

Stir gently to avoid breaking the fish, keeping it whole.

Prepare the peanut butter by mixing it with some water to achieve a smooth consistency.

Add the peanut butter mixture to the cooked fish, ensuring not to use too much for a light soup.

Serve the soup with acida.
