Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
Add the korma style paste to a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Pat the basa with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture, then add to the bowl. Use your hands to coat the fish well.
Lay the korma basa fillets onto a lined baking tray.
Once the chips have been in the oven for 12 mins, pop the tray onto the middle shelf and bake until the fish is cooked, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.
When the chips have 5 mins of cooking time left, melt the butter (see pantry for amount) in a small frying pan on medium-high heat.
Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 mins.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
Add the peas and stir-fry until piping hot, 2-3 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the mango chutney and mayo (see pantry for amount).
When the peas are cooked, add half the coriander to the pan and stir through until wilted.
When everything's ready, plate up the korma basa with the chips and peas alongside.
Finish with a dollop of mango chutney mayo and a sprinkle of the remaining coriander over the top.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The korma-coated basa is a genuine surprise for many — the curry paste complements the fish well, and the mango chutney mayo is widely praised as a standout addition.
- Ease of prep: Simple to follow and quicker than expected; one reviewer cooked the fish in an air fryer with great results as an alternative to the oven.
- Suggestions: Use only half the korma paste if you find the flavour too strong, as some feel it can overpower the delicate fish; try adding breadcrumbs over the paste before baking for extra texture and crunch.
- Portions: The fish fillets are frequently noted as quite small — some added an extra fillet or two to make the meal more substantial.
- Chips: Soaking and parboiling the potatoes before roasting, or cooking them at a higher temperature, helps achieve a crispier result.
