Light coconut milk reduces calories, and the substitute is cost-effective.

1

Slice the tomatoes and onions.

2

Chop the garlic into small pieces.

3

In a saucepan, heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil and add some garlic to brown it.

4

Add all the tomatoes and sauté them, then add the onions.

5

Season with salt and pepper to taste and add 1/4 cup of water.

6

Cover and cook on low heat.

7

Since I don't have pinol blanco, I used corn flakes, which I ground in a processor until it became a fine powder.

8

Clean and gut the fish, ensuring there are no bones.

9

Dry the fish well on both sides and season with garlic, salt, and pepper on both sides.

10

Coat the fish with the pinol, shaking off the excess.

11

In a preheated skillet, add approximately 3 tablespoons of oil and heat it.

12

Fry the fish for about 10 minutes on each side or until golden.
