Peel the cassava and place it in water.

Grate the cassava until smooth.

Place the grated cassava in a nutmeg bag and squeeze out excess water.

Tie the bag tightly to remove more water from the cassava.

Place the cassava in a bowl with a plastic bowl inside to absorb water, and add weights on top to drain for about 3 days.

Spread the drained cassava on a tray and dry it outside to remove moisture.

Strain the cassava to achieve fine flakes.

Prepare the steamer with water and parchment paper to prevent cassava from touching water.

Pour the cassava flakes into the steamer in small batches and cover to trap heat, cooking for 5-8 minutes until done.

Remove the cooked cassava and fluff it in a bowl.

Clean the tilapia fish and season it with salt, all-purpose seasoning, and spices, then marinate for an hour.

Blend tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and bell peppers into a fine paste with some oil.

Cook the blended vegetables in a saucepan for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Add fish powder and additional seasoning to the sauce and continue cooking for about 20 minutes until oil rises to the top.
