Inspired by Nepal – Fried Tumeric Fish with Fresh Mint Sauce

The fresh mint sauce used here, can be used to add some zing to things like steak, chicken and pork too.  You can also use a variety of fish, I have gone for cheap pirch steaks but really it will go well with anything not too flaky!

Serves: 2

Prep: 10mins
Cook: 10mins

Ingredients: 2 pieces of fish steak or fillets, 1tsp of turmeric powder, 1tsp of white flour, pinch of salt, thumb sized piece of ginger (peeled and cut into matchsticks), 1/2 lime, white rice to serve

For the Fresh Mint Sauce: Good sized bunch of fresh mint, 1 dried or fresh green or red chilli, juice of 1/2 a lime, 2 tbsps. of olive oil, pinch of salt.

Method

1. Make your green sauce first, in a blender add all of the ingredients and blitz to a sauce like consistency, set aside
2. Cook your rice as per pack instructions
3. Mix the turmeric, flour and salt together and lightly coat your fish on both sides with the mix
4. Heat some oil in a pan, then add your fish and cook on each side for about 4 minutes
5. When ready to serve plate up with your rice, drizzle the fresh mint sauce over the top, top with the ginger and lime wedges
6. Enjoy!
