Heat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Slice the carrots in half lengthways. Chop the sweet potato into wedges. Tip onto a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season. Toss to coat in the oil. Roast for 30 mins till tender and charred.

Make the ketchup: warm a pan for 1 min over a medium heat. Add ½ tbsp oil and the shallots. Stir and cook for 3-4 mins till softened. Add in 2 tsp coriander seeds and cook for 1 min.

Add the ginger, tomatoes, chervil stalks, 2 tsp turmeric and 2 tbsp tamari. Bubble up, then stir in 2 tsp caster sugar. Turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 10 mins. Stir every so often till thickened.

While the ketchup simmers, rub 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp garam masala into each haddock fillet.

When the potatoes and carrots are 5 mins away from being cooked, warm a frying pan for 1 min over a medium heat. Add the haddock fillets. Fry for 3 mins. Turn off the heat and clamp on a lid. Leave for 2 mins to finish cooking the fish. Insert a knife to check that the flesh is opaque.

Taste the tomato ketchup and add salt and pepper if you think it needs it. Serve the spiced haddock fillets with the chips and warm ketchup, scattered with the chervil leaves to finish.
- Tip
Hot chips
If you want to spice up your chips (or your roasties on a Sunday), then toss the potatoes with 1 tsp each crushed coriander seeds and turmeric before spreading out on a baking tray and roasting.
