Tender chunks of haddock loin are coated in creamy yogurt, curry paste, and lime-infused sauce to create these simple Tandoori fish bites.
Leave these haddock chunks to marinate in the rich curry sauce for up to one hour before cooking. Serve with classic pilau rice and garnish with mint leaves. This recipe serves two people but can easily be doubled to feed a larger family.

Method
- Mix 4 tbsp of the yogurt with the curry paste and lime or lemon juice in a shallow dish. Add the fish, coat well, set aside.
- Coarsely grate the cucumber into a sieve, drain well, then mix it into the remainder of the yogurt. Tear or snip in the mint leaves and season well to make a raita.
- Heat a wok and add the oil. Lift fish pieces out of the marinade, draining off excess. Add to pan, cook for 2 mins, then turn them over and cook for a further 1-2 mins.
- To make the salad: Put the sugar in a bowl with the rice vinegar. Microwave on high for 30 secs and stir to dissolve the sugar. Coarsely grate the carrot and add to the dressing with a handful of coriander leaves.
- Cook the rice in the microwave as per pack instructions. Serve the fish on the rice with the salad, raita and lime wedges.
