Grilled Delights – Healthy, barbeque or  grilled dishes

Now in the third week of Ramadan, I am sure you all  know of my exciting collaboration with Asda, where I have created three bespoke menus , and you must be curious to know what I have in store for my last menu. We have covered the platters and the one pot wonders but here is something for all the health-conscious out there who are looking for something quick, which can just be put into the oven. Whether you are looking for something vegetarian, chicken based or fish – I have a recipe to suit your needs and remember all the recipes are made from ingredients available at Asda.

Sindhi style fish with pomegranate chutney

Serves: 4

Cooking time: 25-40 minutes

Ingredients:

For the fish:

1 tbsp coriander (cilantro) seeds

2 tsp fennel seeds

½ tsp ajwain (carom seeds)

1 bay leaf

½ tsp cumin seeds

1cm/½-inch cinnamon stick

1 tsp salt

2 Asda Grower’s Selection Garlic cloves

2 red chillies, deseeded

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp chilli powder

juice of 1 lime

2 tbsp rice flour

2 tbsp water

1 mackerel, gutted

50ml/2 fl oz/scant ¼ cup vegetable oil, for frying

For the pomegranate and raspberry chutney:

1 punnet of raspberries

½ pomegranate, deseeded

½ tsp freshly ground

black peppercorns

½ tsp chaat masala

½ tsp dry-roasted cumin seeds

juice of ½ lime

Method:

  1. To prepare the fish: Grind the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, bay leaf, cumin seeds and cinnamon together in a spice grinder until finely ground. Add about 2 teaspoons of this spice blend to a mortar and pestle with the salt, garlic, red chillies, turmeric and chilli powder and grind into a fine paste while adding lime juice to moisten. Add oil and mix.
  2. Add the rice flour and the water and mix together into a thick paste. Add to the spice paste.
  3. Rub the cleaned fish all over with the spice paste, until evenly coated. Place in a baking dish.
  4. Heat the grill until hot, place the fish under the grill for 7-10 minutes (depending on the size of fish) and cook each side until done.
  5. While the fish is cooking make the chutney. Put the raspberries and pomegranate into a bowl and crush them using the back of a fork until mushy and the juice from the pomegranate mixes with the crushed raspberries. Add the spices, salt, and lime juice, and stir.
  6. When serving, drizzle the chutney over the fish and serve hot, with fresh coriander to top if desired.
