• 3 medium size tomatoes, chopped
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 cloves, garlic, minced
• Cooking oil
• Salt, and your favorite spices
• Water
• Optional: Green pepper, bay leaf

Step-by-step  cooking method:

Step 1: Clean the fish

Rinse the dried bream in warm water. This softens your fish . You can soak it for just about 10 minutes if you like it softer before you put it in your pot. 

Step 2: Fry the base

Heat oil in a pot. Add onions and garlic. Fry until golden. Add tomatoes and cook until they make a nice sauce.

Step3: Add the Bream Fish

Add your cleaned bream fish pieces to the pot. Gently turn them so the sauce covers both sides. Add 1 cup of water and let the fish to cook on moderate heat. When the water in the pot gets low, add another cup until the fish cooks to a tender stage of your liking.

Don't stir the fish because if you do, it will just break up. As your delicacy is cooking, add salt and spice to taste
