BBQ masala fish
Inspired by a Keralan fish fry, this recipe for flaky, succulent sea bass in a rich, spicy masala has been adapted for the barbecue, making it ideal for summer entertaining. Serve with a fresh rice, mango and coconut salad.
Heat the BBQ and allow the flames to die down and the coals to turn white. Season the bone marrow, put it cut-side down on the BBQ for 8-10 minutes, or cut-side up in a 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 oven for 6-15 minutes (depending on thickness) until the marrow is beginning to melt and is crisp and golden on the edges.
Scrape half of the hot marrow on the grilled bread, top with a thick slice of tomato, then with the rest of the marrow. Season with salt, a scattering of parsley and a pinch of pollen.
