Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the coronation tartar sauce ingredients: finely chop the capers, gherkin, shallot, and the sauce chilli (or dice coriander, as the ingredient list gives as an alternative). Zest and juice the lemon.

2. 2

   Combine the chopped sauce ingredients with the mango chutney, mayonnaise, and mild curry powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then mix until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Cut the cod loins into fish-finger-sized pieces. Season them with black pepper and salt, then coat with curry powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin seeds, and a pinch of turmeric.

4. 4

   Whisk the ice-cold soda water and self-raising flour together with the measured salt to make a batter. The source does not specify batter consistency or whether the spices are mixed into the batter or used as a separate coating.

5. 5

   Dip the seasoned cod pieces into the batter to coat them. The source does not provide a frying method, oil quantity, temperature, or cooking time.

6. 6

   Make the slaw by combining the lime juice, sliced red chilli, diced coriander, julienned carrot, sliced red onion, and sugar.

7. 7

   Assemble tiger bread sandwiches with the cooked fish fingers, prepared sauce, slaw, cheese, and pickled cabbage. The source does not specify the order or quantities for the fillings.
