Authentic Burkinabe Stewed Fish Curry

Assemble the ingredients: fish, butter, bay leaf, coriander, potato, turmeric, salt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Burkinabe flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Burkinabe accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
