Method
Step 1.
For the coleslaw: Toss together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature.
Step 2.
For the sauce: Stir together the yoghurt, mayonnaise, garlic and 1 tbs of warm water in a small serving bowl. Swirl the Tabasco into the sauce. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Step 3.
For the fish: Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan to 170°C.
Step 4.
Pat the fingers of cod dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and then toss in a mixture of the flour and the paprika, shaking off any excess.
Step 5.
Dip in the beaten egg and then dredge in the breadcrumbs, coating each piece evenly. Arrange on a lined baking tray.
Step 6.
When the oil has reached the correct temperature, deep-fry the fish fingers, four at a time, until golden-brown. This will take roughly 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Step 7.
To serve: Once all the fish fingers are cooked, warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan set over a moderate heat.
Step 8.
Top with coleslaw, fish and coriander sprigs. Serve with the sauce, lime wedges and Tabasco on the side.
