Aromatic Tandoori Basa With Cauliflower Rice Salad

This carb smart recipe replaces half the white rice for cauliflower rice. For a lighter twist on a tandoori takeaway, you'll coat fish in a spiced yoghurt marinade before charring it under the grill to infuse it with Punjabi-inspired flavour. Delicious!

Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Pre-heat the grill to a high heat

Add your basmati rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 160ml [250ml] [300ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2.

Meanwhile, chop the fish fillet[s] into large, bite-sized pieces

Combine your curry powder, half of your natural yoghurt (save the rest for later!), 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil and a very generous pinch of salt in a bowl

Add the fish pieces and give everything a good mix up until the fish is evenly coated – this is your coated fish

Step 2
3.

Drizzle a baking tray with vegetable oil (to prevent the fish from sticking)

Add the coated fish to the tray and put it under grill for 9-10 min or until the fish is cooked through and starting to char – this is your tandoori fish

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Do this in batches!

Step 3
4.

Meanwhile, add the remaining natural yoghurt and mayo to a small bowl

Zest your lime[s] (try to grate lightly and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter) and cut in half

Peel and finely grate (or chop) your garlic

Add the grated garlic (don't like raw garlic? Go easy!), lime zest and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the yoghurt – this is your lime & garlic yoghurt

Step 4
5.

Slice your cucumber in half lengthways then scrape out the inner seeds using a teaspoon and discard

Slice the cucumber halves finely

Step 5
6.

Pick your coriander and mint from their stems, discard the stems

Chop your mint and coriander roughly

Step 6
7.

Add the rinsed rice, black sesame seeds, sliced cucumber, shredded red cabbage and most of the chopped coriander and mint (save the rest for garnish!) to a large bowl

Squeeze the juice of the lime[s] into the bowl with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil and give it a good mix up – this is your rice salad

Step 7
8.

Serve the tandoori fish over the cauliflower rice salad

Drizzle the lime & garlic yoghurt all over and garnish with the remaining chopped mint & coriander

Enjoy!
