This 'Tilapia fish potato curry' is an easy peasy fish recipe and a classic fusion of authentic Bengali fish recipes.

I've used the baby tilapia fish for this recipe, as the fish is very tender, it is cooked in very less time, consuming the time only to cook the potatoes and the curry. These baby tilapia fish tastes very mild, succulent and juicy. They have very fewer bones as compared to the fully grown tilapia fish. This curry tastes more delectable.
