Masala Whitebait RecipeIn a large bowl mix the flour, garam masala, chilli powder, cumin seeds, salt and pepper.

Coat the silvery whitebait in a glug of oil, take small handfuls of the miniature fish and coat them in the flour mix, until all off them are completely dusted and the cumin seeds stick to the skin.

In a large frying pan, heat the oil achieving lava status and starting to smoke a little, test the heat by dropping a couple of cumin seeds in and let it sizzle until it fizzes.
