What you need:
- four 250 g (8 oz) whole fish, such as mackerel, trout, grey mullet or blue fish, cleaned
- 4 dill springs
- 4 lime slices
- 60 ml (2 fl oz/1/4 cup) vegetable oil
- 4 spring onion, sliced

- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

What you do:
- Wash fish and pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Slash 2 or 3 times on each side, tuck a sprig of dill and a lime slice Inside each fish, then set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan. Add onions and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add ginger, garlic and mustard seeds and fry for 1 minute more, until mustard seeds start to pop.
- Stir in cayenne pepper, tamarind paste, tomato puree (paste) and 90 ml (2 fl oz/1/3 cup) water. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, until thickened slightly. Meanwhile, heat grill. Place fish on grill rack, brush with remaining oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with oil, until flesh flakes easily.
