- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. In a small bowl, mix 50g yogurt with the curry powder. Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper and arrange the fish. Spoon over the spiced yogurt and bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, crush the cumin seeds, cardamom seeds and half the mustard seeds together with a pestle and mortar. Add the desiccated coconut and crush to a rough paste.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the uncrushed mustard seeds for 30 secs, then add the crushed spice paste. Cook for 1 min, then add the cabbage, carrot, shallots and chilli. Stir fry for 3-4 mins; transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool for 15-20 mins. Stir through the remaining yogurt, the lemon juice and coriander leaves. Serve with the fish and a wedge of lemon.
