Indian Fish Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon cumin seed
    1 onion, chopped
    1 red pepper, thinly sliced
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    2 red chilies, finely chopped
    2 bay leaves
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    14 ounces chopped tomatoes
    2 large potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
    1 1/4 cups fish stock (may substitute vegetable stock, I did)
    4 cod fish fillets
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a large, deep sided frying pan and fry the cumin seeds for 2 minutes or until they begin to splutter. Add the onion, pepper, garlic, chillies and bay leaves and stir well.
    Fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes on low heat until the onions are browned. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander and chili powder and cook for 3-4 minutes.
    Stir in the tomatoes, potatoes and fish (or vegetable) stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Add the fish, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the fish is tender. Serve with chapatis.
