Tandoori fish pittas




Ingredients:

  • 4 wholemeal pittas
  • 4 tablespoons natural yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped into 2cm (3/4 in) pieces
  • 3 tablespoons chopped coriander
  • 40g (1 1/2 oz) Everyday Value unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 teaspoons tandoori spice
  • 4 chunky white fish fillets, such as cod loin, skinned

  • lime wedges
  • chopped fresh coriander

Preparation:

  1. Toast the pittas on the barbecue (or in a hot griddle pan) for 1 to 2 minutes each side. 
  2. Cut each pitta open lengthways to create a pocket ready for the fish. 
  3. Spread the inside of each pitta with 1 tablespoon yogurt, then top with the sliced cucumber and chopped coriander. 
  4. Set aside while you barbecue the fish.
  5. In a bowl, mix the melted butter with the tandoori spice. 
  6. Brush the fish fillets with the spiced butter and place it on the barbecue (or in a frying pan). 
  7. Cook for 3 minutes, then brush again with the remaining butter and turn the fillets over. 
  8. Cook, on this site, for a further 3 to 4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and cooked through. 
  9. Remove the fish fillets from the barbecue (or frying pan) and squeeze over the lime juice.
  10. To serve, put a tandoori fish fillet in each pitta and sprinkle with a little more coriander. 
  11. Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.
