Directions
- Step 1 To make the batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and then quickly stir into the flour mixture (don’t worry about a few lumps).
- Step 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.
- Step 3 Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Step 4 Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into 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.
