Cooking instructions

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

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger and add to a bowl with your curry powder, half your natural yoghurt (save the rest for later!) and a drizzle of vegetable oil

Add your basa fillet[s] and give everything a good mix up until the basa is fully coated in the marinade – this is your marinated basa

Step 1
2.

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces

Peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Crush your garlic with the side of a knife, keeping the skin on

Step 2
3.

Add the chopped potatoes, red onion wedges and crushed garlic to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil

Sprinkle over your ground turmeric and yellow mustard seeds

Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together

Step 3
4.

Cut your lemon[s] into 2 wedges per person

Squeeze half the lemon wedges over the potatoes and add the squeezed wedges to the tray[s] (save the remaining wedges for garnish)

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 20 min

Wash your spinach, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Step 4
5.

Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!

Step 5
6.

Once everything's been cooking for 20 min, remove the tray[s] from the oven and sprinkle the spinach all over, then place your marinated basa on top

Return the tray[s] to the oven for 12-15 min or until the spinach has wilted and the basa is cooked through – this is your Indian-style spiced basa

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

Step 6
7.

Meanwhile, slice your red chilli[es] finely

Once everything's cooked, remove the Indian-style spiced basa from the tray[s] and stir the wilted spinach through the potatoes and onion wedges

Step 7
8.

Serve the Indian-style spiced basa with the potato, spinach and onion wedges to the side

Dollop with the remaining natural yoghurt

Garnish with the sliced chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), nigella seeds and a remaining lemon wedge

Enjoy!
