Fish curry with spinach salad and sweet potato Recipe

  • 85g/3oz cashew nuts
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ red chilli, chopped
  • 85g/3oz pollack fillet, skinned and chopped
  • 1 free-range egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 sweet potato, thinly sliced on a mandoline
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • ½ tsp curry powder
  1. For the fish curry, place the cashew nuts, spices and chilli into a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish and reserve a tablespoon of the mixture for the spinach salad.
  2. Coat the fish in the beaten egg, then roll in the spice mix. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the fish for 5-6 minutes, or until golden-brown all over and cooked through.
  3. For the spinach salad, mix the reserved spice mixture with the lemon juice. Place the baby spinach and coriander into a bowl and pour over the lemon and spice mixture, then toss well to combine.
  4. For the sweet potatoes, place the sweet potato slices into a saucepan with the oil, lemon juice and curry powder, and enough boiling water to cover. Simmer gently with a lid on for 7-8 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
  5. To serve, spoon the sweet potato slices onto a serving plate and arrange the spinach salad alongside. Spoon the fish curry on top of the sweet potato slices.
