Battered fish curry with spicy tartar sauce

The perfect bite! Battered fish curry with spicy tartar sauce.

Crunchy, fresh, spicy, soft, acid… the perfect bite. An amazing flavour combination that for sure will surprise you.

We are going to prepare some seasonal anchovies with battered curry. Also, a homemade tartar sauce that is easy to make and you can adjust the ingredients if you want it spicier. The cherry on top of the cake will be some little gem lettuce leave to add some fresh and crunchiness to each bite.

If you just want to make the battered fish curry go ahead as it is delicious but if you add the homemade tartar sauce I am sure you are going to love it.

I make homemade mayonnaise using the recipe from the Christmas Ebook (free ebook). It takes 1 minute to make it and way better than any store-bought sauce.

Make sure you use good sunflower oil or olive oil.
