I recently made [[Spicy battered fish balls on skewers]]]] in which I used [[basa]] to adapt Pat Chapman's "Kinga Nishat" recipe from 250 Favourite Curries and Accompaniments - 1992. ISBN 0-7499-1185-9. It was incredibly tasty but on reflection, cutting the [[basa]] into small chunks, [[frying]] separately and then placing on skewers seemed rather involved and pointless.

This time I used the spicy batter to coat the whole fillets and then shallow fried them. The result was fantastic, the batter sticking really well to the fish. Do try this, it is a rather special recipe!

[[Basa]] is an excellent firm and flavoursome [[Fish|fish]] that is also sustainable.
