These are non-traditional tacos flavours but it all works together brilliantly and is a meal that can be made quickly on a weeknight.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 500g firm white fish
• 1/2 cup cornflour
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Oil or ghee for frying

Caper mayo

• ½ cup good quality mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons capers
• ½ teaspoon dried dill
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method

Combine the caper mayonnaise ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Season generously. Place in fridge until ready to use.

Combine the cornflour, curry powder, paprika and salt in a large bowl.

Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and toss together with the flour.

Heat 1cm of oil in a sauté pan over a medium / high heat. Cook the fish in 2 batches (to avoid overcrowding the pan) until golden and crunchy. A minute or so on each on each side should be plenty.

To assemble: heat the tortillas. Top each with some shredded cabbage, avocado and some radish slices.

Place a few pieces of fish on each and drizzle with the caper mayonnaise.

To serve

8 soft corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)

Finely shredded cabbage

1 avocado - stone removed and sliced thinly

2 radishes - sliced thinly

Handful fresh coriander - roughly chopped

Serves 4
