Its time for Fish and chips with Salsa!!
Fish
Ingredients:
• 50 gm flour • 50 gm corn flour
• 1 tsp of baking powder • ¼ tsp
turmeric • Salt per taste • 75ml
beer /sparkling water • 75ml
sparkling water • Oil for deep fry
• 400gm firm white fish fillet
Method:
1. Combine the flour, corn flour,
baking powder and turmeric
in a large bowl, season. Spoon
1 tsp on a plate and set aside.
Gradually pour the beer (sparkling water works
too) and sparkling 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.
2. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan until a drop of batter
sizzles and crisps straight away. Pat the fish dry with kitchen
paper, then toss it in the reserved turmeric and flour mix.
Shake off any excess, and then dip into the batter. Carefully
lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry until golden and
crisp. Turn the fish occasionally to make sure that all sides
are golden and crisp. You can cut the fish into small pieces
and it is easy to fry. Lift out the fish, drain on kitchen paper
and then serve with the hot chips and salsa.

• ¾ -½ cup sugar (according
to your taste) • 2 small eggs

soda • ½ tsp of baking
powder • ½ cup butter milk
• 1tbsp lemon juice • ¼
cup golden raisins (optional)
• Almond slice ¼ cup
Lemon syrup: • ⅓ cup white sugar • ⅓ cup butter
• 1 ½ tbsp water • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice.
Method:
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F0 (165 C0). Grease
and flour a pound cake mould. • Cream the butter and
sugar until fluffy. Add egg one at a time, beating after
each addition. Blend in the lemon zest. • In a separate
bowl, mix flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk to
creamed butter mixture. • Pour mixture into the mould
and sprinkle almond slice. Bake at 325 degrees F0 for 50
minutes. • Combine ⅓ cup sugar, ⅓ cup butter and 1
½ tbsp water in a saucepan and heat until butter melts.

the cake with a skewer or fork and pour over lemon juice
mixture. • Wait until the cake becomes completely cool

Chips Salsa
Ingredients: • 750gm potatoes • 2tbsp flour (optional) • 2 tbsp
oil • Seasoning for sprinkle (salt &black paper, salt & paprika)
Method:
• Cut the potatoes according to your choice. I cut them
into long strips. Soak the potato strips into ice-cold water
to take out the starch. Wash them with clean water and
pat dry. • I used the air fryer to fry the chips. Put the chips
into the fryer; add oil and flour (optional). Set the timer
for 40 minutes. It will take 40-45 minutes. Take out the
potatoes when golden and crispy. Season the chips right
after taking out from the fryer. • You can deep fry the chips
or bake in the oven at 200c for 30 minutes in a single layer.
Ingredients: • 6 tomatoes •
1 small cucumber • 1 small
red onion • 6 tsp chopped
coriander. • Lemon juice, salt,
and olive oil for seasoning
Method:
• Wash and deseed the tomatoes
and cut into cubes. Dice the
cucumber. Chop the onion very
finely. Mix the chopped coriander.
Add the seasoning to the salsa before serving.
