I don't often deep fry anything but I had frozen fillets to use and I thought by frying them I'd be able to impart more flavour and get rid of the noticeable frozen taste. The batter is a good flavour, not too strong but you can fry off a little then taste and see if you'd like to add more spices in

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Slowly whisk in the water and milk to make a smooth batter

  2. 2

    For the best batter, chill ALL of the ingredients - the flour etc too. The water and milk should be ice cold and I like to mix the dry ingredients together then put them in the fridge for an hour before mixing the liquids in

  3. 3

    Sift the flour, polenta, baking powder, cumin, coriander, chilli powder, pepper and salt into a bowl

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180C / 350F, a medium heat on the stove top

  5. 5

    Pat dry the fish then coat each side of the fillets in cornstarch

  6. 6

    Dip in the batter to completely coat

  7. 7

    Deep fry the fish in batches until the batter is crisp and golden, around 4 - 6 minutes depending on the size of fillets you use

  8. 8

    Drain on kitchen towel and serve immediately with chunky chips, lemon wedges and a garden salad
