DOUGH-LICIOUS
Set aside 1 tsp of flour. Place the remaining flour in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Using your hands, rub in 10ml of oil until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Mix in the yoghurt and combine into a sticky ball. If too dry, gradually mix in water in 5ml increments until just combined. Use ½ the reserved flour to dust a flat surface. Place the dough on top and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, cover with cling wrap and pop in the fridge.
PICKLED
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 15ml of water, and 10ml of sweetener. Add the sliced onion and the carrot matchsticks, and set aside to pickle.
CUMIN CRÈME
Place a pan over medium heat. Toast the cumin until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, allow to cool, and then stir through the crème fraîche. Add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.
PREP THE FLATBREAD
Spread the remaining reserved flour across a flat surface. Place the dough balls on top and use a rolling pin or bottle to shape into a flat disc of 12-15cm in diameter. Place a pan over high heat with a small drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, cook the flatbreads until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan. As you go, stack between sheets of paper towel to drain and keep warm.
FRY THE FISH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season. Gently pull apart the fish into flakes before serving.
LOAD IT UP
Plate up the flatbreads. Top with the shredded green leaves and the fish flakes, drizzle over the cumin crème, scatter over the pickled onion & carrot, and garnish with the chopped coriander. Go on, Chef – we know you’re drooling!
