Ingredients

  • 50g/1¾oz butter
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 bird’s-eye chillies
  • 1 tsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 150ml/5fl oz double cream
  • 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
  • ½ lemon
  • , for deep frying vegetable oil
  • 15g/½oz fresh yeast
  • pinch sugar
  • 300ml/10fl oz beer
  • 1 tsp cider vinegar
  • 200g/7oz plain flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1 x 400g/14oz whole Dover sole, filleted
  • 300g/10½oz chipping potatoes
  • ½ lemon

Instructions

  • For the curry sauce, heat a large frying pan until hot, add the butter, onion and chillies and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden-brown and softened.
  • Add the plain flour and curry powder and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the cream and chicken stock, return to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes.
  • Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir through the coriander and finish with the lemon juice.
  • For the fish and chips, preheat a deep-fat fryer to 190C/375F. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the yeast and sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour over the beer and vinegar and whisk in the flour and salt. Leave to ferment – it is ready to use when the mixture starts to bubble.
  • Dip the sole fillets into the batter and deep fry until golden-brown and cooked through – about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Add the potatoes to the deep-fat fryer and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Season with a little salt.
  • Serve the fish and chips on serving plates with the curry sauce in a jug. Pour the sauce over the fish and chips just before serving.
