1
Begin by washing your fish fillets and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2
If your fillets are on the large side, slice them in half.
3
Place in a shallow dish and dust with the corn flour and season with plenty of pepper.
4
Heat your oil in a medium-sized pan and fry the fish until browned on both sides.
5
I like to add lots more pepper at this stage before flipping the fish.
6
Remove the fish from the pan, place in a serving dish and keep warm in the bottom of the oven.
7
Next, in the same oil, fry the shallots and ginger until golden brown and crispy.
8
Remove and place in a seperate dish, keeping warm in the bottom of the oven.
9
In the same oil, carefully add water, sugar and chilli sauce.
10
Make sure that the oil is not too hot, as it will splash.
11
Simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the gravy comes to a boil.
12
Remove from heat and pour sauce over the fried fish.
13
Finish by garnishing the fish with the fried ginger shallots and a sprig of fresh dill.
14
Serve with basmati rice.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
