First let’s start with the fish.

Take 2 large fish whitefish fillets and marinate for 15 mins in a mix of turmeric powder, chilli powder, ginger garlic paste, salt and a splosh of white vinegar or fresh lemon juice.

Whilst this is marinating you can start on the soup filled with Cancer fighting properties. The Carrot Ginger soup.

Bring 1 ltr of water to boil in a kettle.

Meanwhile, Saute for 1-2 mins in a cooking pot,  1 diced onion and 4-5 garlic cloves sliced in some extra virgin olive oil. Don’t bother about shape because all these will be blended in the end, so doesn’t matter!

Add in 1/2 tsp ginger powder & 1 tsp madras curry powder and stir for a min to release the flavor.

Add in 3 large chopped carrots (peeled obviously! ),2.5 cms fresh chopped ginger, 1 maggi cube ( i used the low sodium chicken stock) & the boiled water. Simmer gently for 15 mins. ( whilst this is simmering you can work on the baked potatoes) Remove from heat, blend well, add a generous dash of pepper, salt to taste and juice of 1 large lemon. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.

For the baked potatoes, cut 350 gms of potatoes into wedges (skin on). Mix the wedges in a paste of turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt, 1 tsp of curry powder, dash of extra virgin olive oil,some cumin and fennel seeds, a tsp of white vinegar and 2 tsp of honey (more if you like it spicy sweet) Bake in microwave for 10 mins or until done.  Garnish with some chopped herbs & a generous squeeze of lemon juice.

Whilst the potatoes are baking, heat up the grill (or non stick fry pan lightly coated with oil) and grill/fry the fish fillet for 10 mins or till done!

Dish up, serve with some healthy bread and enjoy a delicious healthy meal! All in 30 mins.
