Method:

For the fish:

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. 

Lay frozen Country Fry fillets on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes until golden. Alternatively cook in an air-fryer for the recommended time. 

For the raita:

Mix all the ingredients for the raita together in a small bowl and then cover and place into the fridge until needed. 

For the yellow rice:

Add oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and peanuts and fry until the nuts are toasted. Add the sliced green chillies, curry leaves, garlic and ginger and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. (Tip: for a kid-friendly version, omit the chillies.)

Add the rice and lentils to the pan and then sprinkle in the turmeric. Add the lemon zest and juice and mix well to combine. Stir and heat through until everything is combined. 

Season and serve immediately with Country Fry, poppadoms and raita on the side. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over the dish just before eating.
