The zingy herb salad and raita pair fantastically with the spiced fresh fish. Add a spoonful of tomato kasundi for a little sweetness.
Serves: 4

METHOD
Cut fish fillets into pieces, around 5cm in length. Combine the flour, spices and salt in a bowl. Add the fish and gently toss to coat.
Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over a medium heat. Fry the fish for 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked.
Raita: Heat a small sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and fry for 2-3 minutes until seeds begin to pop. Place in a small bowl with yoghurt, cucumber and apple and combine.
Salad: Place herb salad ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
To serve: Cut the burger buns in half, layer with a generous dollop of raita, fish and herb salad.
