Putting together the tandoori mix (thanks to Floyd on India).........
take one large plaice, score both sides and liberally coat with tandoori mix, especially the score marks......
for the cuttlefish, make up a Piri Piri sauce, thanks for that go to Sanjay Kumar........
chillies, red onion and tomato.........
prep the flavouring for the Chana Dal (which might need soaking - your local Asian shop should stock the correct chana dal lentils, if not Asda do, even in Cornwall) , bay leaf, fried red onion, garlic, red chili powder, turmeric, fried cumin seeds, three chopped tomatoes can be added at this stage.......
simmer in chicken stock till tender.........
the main course gets a pat on the back, in a baking tin, bury a tub gurnard in soaked sea salt........
trying something different, a mulled cider..........
no wonder they call it Gurnard's Head, a cliff headland near Pendeen on the North coast of Cornwall......
after baking for around 40 minutes you can serve by cracking off the hard crust......
one beetroot raita.......
main dish number two, tandoori plaice is now out of the oven and grill......
with the wonderfully moist slightly flavoured flesh lifted carefully off from the bones.
