MASALA FISH

Steps:

• Marinate the fish in the lemon juice for no more than 10 minutes. While the fish is marinating, mix the flours, dried spices and salt together in a large bowl. Turn the marinated fish pieces in the flour mixture to coatand shake off any excess. There only needs to be a thin dusting of the flour mixture on the fish.
• Heat about 2.5cm (1in) depth of rapeseed oil in a large frying pan. The oil is hot enough when thousands of little bubbles form around a wooden chopstick or spatula when placed in the oil
• Place the fish in the oil and cook for about 2 minutes. Then, flip the fish over and cook for another 1 minute on the other side, or until just cooked through.
• Serve the fish with the above mentioned coriander chutney or tomato salsa whichalso goes really well.
