About

Infused with spices and fried whole to a crisp outside with a succulent interior, this fish is an Indian Jewish favourite. Serve with turmeric-roasted potato chunks.

Ingredients

1 small onion, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
5 cm/2

Method

In a food processor, grind the first five ingredients with salt to a smooth paste. Make several slashes on both sides of the fish and rub them with the paste. Leave to rest for 1 hour. Excess fluid will be released as the salt dissolves, so lightly pat the fish dry with kitchen paper without removing the coating of paste.
