cornflour

tsp baking powder

turmeric

milliliters lager beer

water

litre sunflower oil,for frying

fillet sustainable cod, hake

potatoes,Maris Piper

tbsp plain flour

sunflower oil

Combine the flour, cornflour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, season, then spoon 1 tbsp onto a plate and set aside. Gradually pour the beer and water into the bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Leave to rest for 30 mins while you prepare the chips.

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil a large pan of water, then add the chipped potatoes and boil for 2-3 mins until the outsides are just tender but not soft. drain well, then tip onto a large baking tray with the flour, oil and some salt. Gently toss together until all the potatoes are evenly coated and the flour is no longer dusty. Roast for 30 mins, turning occasionally, until the chips are golden and crisp.

To cook the fish, heat the 1 litre oil in a deep saucepan until a drop of batter sizzles and crisps up straight away. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, then toss it in the reserved turmeric flour mix. Shake off any excess, then dip into the batter. Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 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, then sprinkle with salt. Serve with the hot chips and Homemade tomato sauce (see 'goes well with').

Fish and Chips

500 g /1lb cod fish

all-purpose flour

beer ((chilled))

tsp red chili powder ((or paprika))

tsp black pepper

((or

French fries

Heat a large pan with oil and bring it to 370 F.

You could fry your French fries in the oil before your fish so that it doesn&#039;t affect the taste. Alternatively, you can pan fry the frozen fries with just a drizzle of olive oil!

Cut the cod into evenly sized pieces. Pat them dry and set aside.

In a large bowl, add in the flour, baking powder, chili powder/paprika, black pepper and salt, and mix well. Then add the beer and keep stirring while pouring it in slowly. The consistency of the batter should be similar to pancake batter.

In a separate bowl, add about a cup of all purpose flour. Now, dredge the cod in the flour and shake off the excess before dunking it into the batter. Once the cod is completely covered in the batter, carefully add it to the hot oil.

Fry the fish in batches, don&#039;t overcrowd the pan.Flip the fish after about 2-3 minutes to make sure it cooks evenly on both sides. After a total of 5 minutes, or once it turns golden brown, carefully remove the fried fish. Place it on a wire rack to cool. To ensure that the fish is cooked, check if the internal temperature is 145F.

Serve your fish and chips with lemon wedges and this creamy Tartar sauce!
