Bombay mix, crushed

You've got to trust me on this one, this was. so. good. The spicy, creamy salmon with mango, cucumber, and red onion, extra spicy mayo on top, and crushed Bombay mix - Indian sushi is going to be your new favourite.

Method

Make your sushi rice, season, then leave to cool at room temperature while you prep everything else.

Dice your sushi grade salmon, then mix with Japanese mayo, Mr Naga chilli, honey, tandoori masala, and salt. The chilli is super spicy, so adjust to your preference

Place a piece of cling film on the rolling mat, followed by a sheet of nori shiny side down.

Spread the cooled sushi rice over 3/4 of a nori sheet, sprinkle over nigella seeds, then flip over so the rice is on the outside. Add a strip of the salmon mix, then a few pieces each of mango, cucumber, and red onion.

Using your rolling mat and cling film, carefully roll the filled nori. Do this slowly, making sure everything is tightly packed, ensuring the clingfilm doesn't get wrapped inside the roll. Slice into even pieces.

Mix mayo with more mr naga and lemon juice, then add a dollop to each piece of sushi. Finished with crushed Bombay mix, and enjoy!
