Masala corn or spiced corn is an Indian dish made of sweetcorn, chilli, spices and herbs. We've combined these ingredients with basmati rice to create a quick, easy, flavoursome dish. Topped with smoked fish, a dollop of yoghurt, and a good grind of black pepper. Smokin'! (Gluten-free, suitable for coeliacs).

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced red onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-8 min or until softened and beginning to caramelise
2
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Cut the red chilli[es] in half lengthways, de-seed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
3
Once the onion has softened, add the curry powder, chopped garlic and chopped ginger to the pan and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Drain the sweetcorn and add it to the pan with the basmati rice
Cook for 1 min further, stirring to coat the grains in all the spices
4
Add 350ml [700ml] cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Tip: Add an extra splash of water if the pan is looking a little dry and the rice isn't cooked
5
While the rice is cooking, add the smoked basa fillets to a baking tray and drizzle them with olive oil
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and put the tray in the oven for 8-10 min, or until the fish is cooked through
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily
6
Meanwhile, chop the coriander finely, including the stalks (save some leaves for garnish!)
Cut the lime[s] in half
7
Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and add the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and chopped coriander
Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 [1] lime and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up – this is your masala corn rice
Cut the remaining lime into wedges
