  • Properly Clean and Prepare the Tilapia Fillets: Rinse the tilapia fillets thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. You can remove any remaining bones with a pair of fishbone tweezers to ensure a smooth eating experience.
  • Utilize High-Quality Tamarind Sauce: Use a good-quality tamarind sauce for an authentic and tangy flavor. Look for brands that offer a well-balanced blend of tamarind, spices, and seasonings.
