Ingredients

Canola, grape seed or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
400g wahoo fillet, skin off and bloodline removed, cut into 3cm thick strips
10 cherry guavas or normal ripe guavas, cut in half or smaller, depending on size
Handful basil leaves
Lime wedges, to serve

Batter
3 cups self-raising flour
2 cups plain flour, plus extra, for dusting
1 cup cornflour
100ml vegetable oil
350ml beer
350ml water

Dressing
100ml olive oil
50ml lime juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt, to taste

Preparation

To make the batter, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until a smooth batter forms. It should have the consistency of thick pancake batter. Cover and refrigerate.

To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and whisk together.

Fill a large saucepan or wok two thirds full of oil and heat to 180°C.

Working in batches, dust the wahoo in flour, then dip in the batter, allowing the excess to drip away, and then deep-fry, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp. Don’t overcrowd the pan or the temperature of the oil will drop, making the fish oily. Drain on paper towel.

To serve, arrange the guava on serving plates and tear some basil over the top. Drizzle with a little vinaigrette, then top with the fish and serve immediately with lime wedges.

Why is this classified as Indonesian cuisine?
Just saw this on TV tonight when Peter was on Atiu In the Cook Islands. Surely this is Pacific cuisine? Anyway, it looks tasty so it's on the menu this weekend!

battered wahoo
What is Wahoo? Fish? Chicken? Beef? It would be helpful if the substitutes for foreign names of ingredients are given in English when the recipe is given in English so that one would know what to use or what is to be used as a substitute. Could you tell me what Wahoo is? Thanks.Cannot really rate it without trying it out which please note and I have to rate it to submit this comment.

Hot Tips

Fresh pasta

Fresh pasta shouldn't be cooked to the 'al dente' stage. As it is egg based, it needs to be well cooked and not have any resistance when you bite into it but be silky smooth.

Glossary

Bonito

Bonito is an oily fish and is prepared in the same way as tuna. It is a large fish and comes from the same family as tuna and mackerel.
