Indian Basa
Basa Fish
4 basa fillets
1 egg - beaten
4 tbspns plain flour
3 tspns garam masala
1 tspn chilli powder
1 tspn ground cumin
1 tspn ground coriander
Oil for frying
Yoghurt Dressing
1 tub natural yoghurt
1/2 cucumber - diced
handful freshly chopped mint
Mix together the yoghurt, mint and cucumber and leave in the fridge whilst you prepare the fish. The water from the cucumber will slightly thin the yoghurt during this time.
Combine the flour and spices and put them on a plate.
Dip the fillets in the egg and then coat thoroughly with the spiced flour mix.
Heat the oil in a pan.
Add the fillets and fry about 2 minutes either side.
Serve immediately with the dressing and some spicy rice.
*HINT*
Add some curry paste or powder (you decide on the strength) to the water when you boil your rice - add some frozen peas or mixed vegetables for the last five minutes and you have perfect spicy vegetable rice.
I use about two tablespoons of curry paste to two large mugs of rice - but I like my food spicy, so you might need to experiment with the amount of paste you use.
