Ingredients

1 kg small sweet potatoes

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup (35g) plain flour

1 egg

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground turmeric

2 tsps coarse cooking salt

¼ cup (40g) sesame seeds

⅔ cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs

800 grams skinless flathead fillets

Cooking oil spray

Lime wedges, to serve

Yoghurt tartare

½ cup (140g) Greek yoghurt

2 tsps lime juice

2 baby gherkins (30g), chopped finely

2 green onions, chopped finely

1 tbsp finely chopped dill

Method

Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 180˚C for 3 minutes.

Scrub sweet potatoes, pat dry, then cut into chips. Place chips in a large bowl with oil and season; mix well to coat.

Taking care, place chips in the air fryer basket, cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until golden. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, place flour in a shallow bowl. Lightly beat egg in a second shallow bowl. Combine spices, salt, sesame seeds and breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl. Dust fish in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture; spray generously on both sides with oil.

Taking care, place fish in the air fryer basket; at 180˚C, cook for 13 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Meanwhile, to make yoghurt tartare, combine ingredients in a small bowl; season to taste.

Serve fish and chips with yoghurt tartare and lime wedges.
