Ingredients

120 g chickpea flour
1 t dried chilli
½ cup chopped fresh coriander
1 t garam masala
250 ml buttermilk
375 ml vegetable oil
800 g fresh white fish such as hake or kingklip
For the brinjal-and-coriander tzatziki
2 T olive oil
2 medium-sized brinjals, diced into small pieces
2 fresh chillies, halved
3 cloves garlic, chopped

Cooking Instructions

To make the battered fish: Combine the chickpea flour with the dried chilli, coriander, garam masala and buttermilk to form a batter.

Place a saucepan over a high heat and add the canola oil. Slice the fish into chunky pieces and submerge in the batter.

Place carefully into the hot oil and deep-fry until golden and puffed. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen towel.

Serve with the brinjal and- coriander tzatziki.

To make the brinjal-and-coriander tzatziki: Place a pan over a medium to high heat and add the olive oil. When hot, fry the brinjal cubes with the chilli halves until golden and charred.

Transfer the brinjal to a bowl and add the garlic, yoghurt, coriander and seasoning, to taste. Blitz lightly with a hand-held blender until the mixture takes on a coarse chunky consistency.

Cook’s note: If you’re short on time, simply use a box of store-bought Chilli Bite mix.
