Fluffy Za’atar Fish and Chips

Ingredients:

• For the Fish:

• 4 white fish fillets (like cod, haddock, or pollock)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp Fluffy Za'atar spice blend

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 cup cold sparkling water (or beer for a traditional batter)

• Salt to taste

• Vegetable oil for frying

• For the Chips:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick strips

• Salt to taste

• 1 tsp Fluffy Za'atar spice blend (for seasoning after frying)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chips: a. Soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps in crisping them up. b. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

2. Fish Batter: a. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 2 tsp of Fluffy Za'atar, baking powder, and salt. b. Slowly whisk in the cold sparkling water (or beer) until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

3. Frying: a. In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). b. While the oil is heating, dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. c. Fry the fish in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (around 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels. d. In the same oil, fry the potato strips until golden and crispy. Once done, remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Seasoning: a. While still hot, season the chips with salt and sprinkle with the Fluffy Za'atar spice blend for an added kick.
