Ingredients

  1. 600g flathead portions
  2. 1 tablespoon garam masala
  3. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  4. ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  5. 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  6. 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  7. 1/2 cup plain flour
  8. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  9. Salt and pepper, to taste
  10. 40g ghee
  11. 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  12. 150g baby spinach leaves
  13. ½ red onion, finely chopped
  14. ½ cucumber, finely diced
  15. ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  16. ¾ cup Greek-style yoghurt

Method

  1. To make raita, melt 20g ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add spinach and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until wilted. Cool, then
    combine with onions, cucumber, mint, and yoghurt in a bowl. Return the pan to low heat, then melt the remaining 20g ghee. Stir in half the turmeric and the mustard seeds, then spoon over raita. Makes 2 1/2 cups.
  2. Sift the flour with the remaining turmeric, garam masala, ground cumin and ground coriander into a bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Dust the fish in the spiced flour, then cook, in 2 batches, for 1 minute on each side or until just cooked.
  3. Serve the fish with raita.

Chef's Tip

Flathead works beautifully with warm spices because its delicate flavour stays clean and light rather than becoming overpowering. Cook the fish quickly over medium heat so the coating turns lightly crisp while the center stays soft and flaky. The cool mint raita adds freshness and balance, creating the perfect contrast against the aromatic spices and rich seafood flavours.
