Clean and cut the fish into medium size pieces and wash with the lemons. Place in a bowl and season with salt, thyme and curry. Leave aside for 10-15minutes to absorb seasoning. Grind the tomatoes, onions and peppers. Heat oil in a pot, pour in the ground ingredients and cook for 20 minutes until fairly reduced.

Blend in the tomato puree, add the marinated pieces offish, season and cook for 20minutes stirring gently to avoid breaking up the fish.

Check seasoning and serve.
