How it's done
Chutney
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the garlic and onion, sauté. Add the rhubarb and raspberries and cook for approx. 1 min. Add the balsamico and all the other ingredients up to and including the salt, cover and simmer for approx. 1 min. Remove the pan from the heat, leave the chutney to cool. Mix in the cucumber and coriander.
Batter
Place the flour, salt and sesame in a bowl. Add water, butter, and egg yolks while stirring, mix to form a smooth batter. Cover the batter and leave to stand at room temperature for approx. 30 mins. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
To fry
Fill a pot to 1/3 with oil and heat it to approx. 175 °C. Season the fish fillets, dip each one through the batter, let them drain slightly, then place in hot oil. Fry for about 2 mins. until golden, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, serve warm. Serve the fish nuggets with the chutney.
