Fish & chips with coconut batter and tartare sauce
Ingredients
For the fish
- 600g boneless and skinless fillet of cod loin
- 75g plain flour
- 1 egg
- 100ml coconut milk plus a little extra if needed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- vegetable oil for frying
For the tartare sauce
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt

- 1 tbsp capers drained
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
To serve

- cooked peas
- 2 lemons quartered
Instructions
- 1
Cut the fish into four equal-sized pieces. Season and dust with 2 tsp of the flour. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining flour, egg, coconut milk and baking powder with some salt until you have a smooth, thick batter. Add a little more coconut milk if your mixture is particularly stiff.

In a small bowl, mix together the tartare sauce ingredients and set aside.

Pour vegetable oil into a large wok to a depth of 2cm and heat – it's hot enough when a small piece of bread browns in 20 secs. Fry the fish in batches, dipping each piece into the batter, then gently lowering into the oil. Fry for 2-3 mins until golden, turning once. Drain on kitchen paper, then put in a low oven to keep warm while you fry the rest.
2.5 min - 4
Serve the fish with the chips, peas, tartare and lemon wedges.
