Clean and dry the fish, then rub the blended seasoning all over the fish to marinate.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and add a little flour for crunchiness before frying the fish.

Fry the fish until golden and crispy, then set aside.

In the same pan, add more oil and warm it up, then add chopped onions and ginger.

Add 2 cans of tomato puree and blended fresh tomatoes to the pan and cook until thickened.

Add vegetables like carrots, eggplants, and okra to boiling water for about 10 minutes, then remove them and reserve the water.

Add the reserved water back to the pan with the tomato mixture and season with jumbo and beef stock.

Add rinsed long-grain rice to the pot and cook on high heat, checking regularly.

Cover the pot with a bag on top of the rice to help it steam and dry out.
