Pharonise Fried Cod With White Sauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup beer
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 teaspoon minced capers
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 quart oil for frying
1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2 to 3 ounce portions
1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
1/2 medium head cabbage, finely shredded
1 To make beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking
powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture
(don't worry about a few lumps).
2 To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and
mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly
runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne.
3 Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4 Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until
crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas; not too
crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage,
and white sauce
When a true genius appears
in the world, you may know him by this sign; that the dunces are all in
confederacy against him.
