Ingredients:

1.50 lb white fish
680g
2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup coconut milk
72g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
44g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp dried coriander
5g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1 dash salt
1g
3/4 cup greek yogurt
180g
2 tbsp capers
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fish:
- Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into portions if necessary.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, ground cumin, dried coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, and a dash of salt.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the coconut milk until well combined.
4. Bread the Fish:
- Dredge each fish fillet in the flour-spice mix, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Dip the floured fillets into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the fillets with bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
5. Cook the Fish:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the skillet.
- Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the cooked fish fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Make the Coriander Yogurt Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic cloves, capers, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
7. Serve:
- Spoon a generous dollop of the coriander yogurt sauce over the cooked fish fillets or serve it on the side as a dip.
- Garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve the spicy fish with coriander yogurt hot, alongside your favorite side dishes like steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Make sure the white fish fillets are fresh for the best taste and texture.

- For a crispier coating, try using panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.

- When frying the fish, ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

- Allow the fish to rest on a paper towel after frying to drain any excess oil.

- For the coriander yogurt sauce, use fresh coriander leaves for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a thicker yogurt sauce, consider straining the Greek yogurt for a few hours before mixing.

- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the yoghurt mixture for an extra burst of freshness.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices according to your heat tolerance and flavor preference.

- Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the contrast between the hot, crispy fish and the cool, creamy yoghurt.

This spicy fish dish paired with coriander yogurt not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides a nutritious and wholesome meal. Serve it with a side of your favorite vegetables or rice to complete the dining experience. Enjoy the burst of flavors that this unique combination brings to your table!
