3	Baking Powder	10	gm
4	Eggs	4	No’s
5	Salt	to	taste
6	Basa Fish	2	slices

METHOD:

1. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 185C.
2. Mix baking powder into the flour, along with ½ tsp salt. Beat egg, mix the flour, Add required cold water. Make a thick batter.  This needs to be done just before you cook the fish.
3. Position the bowl next to the fryer or pan. Have a plate lined with kitchen paper ready. Dip your fish into the batter and then carefully lower it into the hot fat, and agitate the frying basket to prevent the fish sticking to it. This will also give the batter a more interesting texture. Do these one or two pieces at a time: don't overcrowd the fryer.

4. Cook the fish for about 4–6 minutes, depending on size, keeping a watchful eye on it; it should be crisp and golden. Lift out of the fat and drain on kitchen paper then serve immediately with mayonnaise based dip.
