step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat, and fry the onions until softened. Add the tomato purée and cook for 5-7 mins, then pour in 2½ litres water. Tip in the beef and fish. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins. Transfer the fish to a plate using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
step 2

Stir in the pepper, garlic, chilli, bay and okra. Season with salt.
step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 mins. Add the palm oil and baking powder. Simmer for another 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally. Return the fish to the pan and continue to simmer for 15 mins. Serve with rice.
