For the raita
Method
To make the raita, mix the yoghurt, mint and a squeeze of lime juice together in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Stir in the cucumber and radishes, cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
Preheat the grill to high and line a baking tray with kitchen foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garam masala, chilli and butter. Spread the spiced butter onto the mackerel and place the fillets on the baking tray. Grill for 1 minute, or until the butter melts, soaking the spices into the warm fish.
Serve the mackerel immediately with the raita.
