Fish and chips by Cyril Lignac:a tasty and much less greasy recipe

We're not going to lie to each other fish and chips it's fat, it's caloric (nearly 255 calories per 100 g). However, it can be easily prepared using less rich ingredients. In his recipe chef Cyril Lignac uses tricks and favors healthier alternatives:to obtain a soft and less greasy donut dough he incorporates cottage cheese and to fry fish he recommends grapeseed oil, which is much healthier than frying oil classic. And because fish and chips are traditionally served with a sauce, Cyril Lignac makes a creamy sauce that has nothing to envy to tartar sauce. Here again, he uses cottage cheese, a little crème fraîche, lime juice to give it a boost and herbs (garlic, shallot and chives) to season everything.
