Sieve the flour, cornflour, baking powder and salt. Add spices into the batter, then add the liquid. Beat to a smooth batter.

Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, then toss it in the plain flour. Shake off any excess, then dip into the batter ensuring it is well covered. Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for 5-6 mins – depending on the thickness of the fish – until golden and crisp. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the fish, drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot ♨️
