Masala Fish and Chips
Method
- Combine all the masala fish ingredients to create a marinade, and set aside for 20 minutes, making sure the fish is well coated.
- Once marinated, heat some oil in a pan and shallow fry the marinated fish. Set aside.
- In another pan, heat the butter and fry the garlic until fragrant. Add the bird’s eye chillies and curry leaves. Keep on a low heat and fry for another minute.
- Add the Rajah Fish Masala, evaporated milk, salt and sugar. Season to taste.
- Once the mixture starts to thicken, add in the fried fish.
- Gently stir to keep the fish together.
- Now for the Masala Chips! Add all of your dry ingredients into a zip-lock bag and shake well. Heat the oil and fry the chips until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the fish alongside the chips and rosemary mayo. Garnish with coriander and a squeeze of lemon!
