Fish & Chips My way

Hi Every one,

Below is a Classic fish & Chips recipe with some amendments i did on it, as i mentioned at my profile am a spear and i do spearfishing from time to time, so am eating fish too much and i had to do something after i tried almost all fish recipes i worked with during my professional life as a chef, and i come out with this one, it's easy, fast, and mouth watering.

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika powder (smoked would be more tasty)
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoon of mustard.
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 500g fish fillet (any kind of fish, depending on your budget, so don’t worry about that)
• 1 medium pack of classic corn flakes.

Dipping:

• 4 tablespoon mayonnaise.
• 1 cucumber pickled chopped thinly.
• 1 teaspoon mustard.
• 1 teaspoon Ketchup.
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper.

Preparation:

1. Place potatoes in a medium-size bowl of cold water. In a separate medium-size mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, Paprika, and pepper. Stir in the milk and egg; stir until the mixture is smooth. Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
2. In a bowl put the mustard and the fish pieces and mix them well.
3. Preheat the oil in a large pot.
4. Fry the potatoes in the hot oil until they are tender. Drain them on paper towels.
5. Get another bowl, place in the corn flakes and smash a little bit with your hand until each flake is two times smaller than its original size.
6. Dredge the fish in the batter (Milk Mixture), one piece at a time then in corn flakes, and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the fish is golden brown.
7.  Drain well on paper towels.
8. Fry the potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.

For the dipping, Mix all ingredients and put in a serving bowl along with the fish & chips.
