Hali Maman Reveals Healthy Fish Patties Recipe in Flavorful Spicy Tomato Sauce

Hali Maman shares a recipe for diet-friendly fish patties cooked in a rich, spicy tomato and pepper sauce. The dish uses minimal oil and features fresh coriander, garlic, cumin, and a kick of hot peppers to create a balanced, aromatic flavor. The fish patties are made from skinless tilapia fillets blended with fresh coriander and garlic, seasoned with salt, pepper, and cumin, then gently cooked in a thick sauce made from sautéed red bell pepper, hot peppers, garlic, paprika, and chicken broth powder.

The preparation involves finely grinding the fish and herbs, then frying the peppers and spices before gradually adding boiling water to form a thick sauce. The fish patties are carefully placed into the boiling sauce and cooked first on high heat for 10 minutes, then covered and simmered for 20 minutes. Fresh coriander is sprinkled on top before serving. The recipe requires no eggs, breadcrumbs, or baking powder, as the patties naturally hold together during cooking. Maman advises against flipping or stirring the patties to prevent them from breaking, recommending gentle shaking of the pan instead.

This recipe, provided by Hali Maman and the Healthy Lifestyle Support Network, offers a flavorful, low-fat alternative for fish dishes, emphasizing fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques. It is ideal for those seeking a healthy yet tasty meal option that pairs well with bread or other carbohydrates to soak up the sauce.
