Ingredients:
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ginger paste

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
juice of 2 lemons
4 skinless halibut steaks, about 200 g (7 oz) each

Method:
Mix together the ground spices and pastes in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and stir to mix well. Spread the mixture all over the fish and season well.

Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan, add the fish and fry over a medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Serve with a green salad, if liked.

Add 1 tablespoon Goan curry paste and blitz until smooth. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into 12 cakes.

Heat 2 tablespoons sunflower oil in a large frying pan, add the fishcakes and fry over a medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve with steamed rice and a salad. Total cooking time 20 minutes.
