Directions:

Instructions for Yogurt and Ginger

1. Take the yogurt out of the container and place it into a large bowl.

2. Heat oil on medium inside of a medium-sized pot for roughly one minute. Once heated, add in cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for 30-45 seconds. Once darker brown, add asafoetida and allow that to cook for the same amount of time.

3. Once the asafoetida has darkened, add ginger and saute for roughly one minute. Once cooked, add salt, turmeric, coriander, paprika and cayenne and stir for two to three minutes.

4. Once the sauce becomes pasty, turn off the heat and stir in water.

5. In order to prevent the yogurt from curdling, you will need to whisk one cup of the masala-water mixture with the yogurt. Turn the heat to high and bring it all to a boil. Be sure to be constantly whisking. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer for about five minutes stirring only once or twice. Set it aside once complete.

Instructions for  Pan-seared Breaded Tilapia

1. Combine breadcrumbs, cayenne, salt, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, paprika and asafoetida into a large bowl and mix.

2. Evenly coat each fillet with the spices and breadcrumbs.

3. In a medium sized frying pan, heat the oil for about one minute over medium heat. Begin pan-frying the Tilapia fillets skin side down for roughly two minutes then flip and cook the skinless side for another two minutes.

4. Transfer finished fillets onto a baking sheet. Add 1 tsp of oil in the frying pan and repeat.

5. Reheat the curry mix on high and pour over the fillets while hot and serve.
