Spicy Haddock Vindaloo With Cardamom Rice And Naan
This dish is a fusion of East and West, with the influence of Portugal shining through. Vinegar was brought over to India in the 16th century by the Portuguese, and thus the characteristic hot, sour flavours of the vindaloo were born. Basil adds a subtle anise flavour. If you like spice, you'll vinda-love it!

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Crush your cardamom pods open by squashing them with the side of a knife, then add your basmati rice, crushed cardamom pods, a pinch of salt and 300ml [390ml] [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid 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, then remove from the heat and keep covered until serving – this is your cardamom rice
Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 7-8 min or until softened
Pat your haddock bites dry with kitchen paper
Tip: Unevenly sized haddock bites? Chop any larger ones into bite-sized pieces!
Add the haddock bites to a bowl with your cider vinegar, ground cumin, ground paprika, half your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up – this is your coated haddock
Boil half a kettle
Peel and finely slice your garlic
Chop your cherry tomatoes in half
Dissolve your vegetable stock mix and tamarind paste in 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water – this is your tamarind stock
Once the onion has softened, add a knob of butter with the halved tomatoes and sliced garlic and cook for 6-8 min further or until the tomatoes are starting to break down
Once the tomatoes have started to break down, add the coated haddock, half your Thai basil leaves (save the rest for garnish!) and a grind of black pepper and cook for 1 min or until the spices are fragrant
Add the tamarind stock and cook, covered, for 4-5 min or until the sauce has thickened and the haddock is cooked through – this is your spicy haddock vindaloo
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily
Add your garlic & coriander naan[s] to a toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through
Slice the remaining Thai basil leaves finely
Tip: Once the vindaloo is done, taste the sauce and stir through any remaining cayenne if it needs more kick!
Serve the spicy haddock vindaloo with the cardamom rice and warmed naan to the side
Garnish with the sliced Thai basil leaves
Enjoy!
