Method
Heat the grill to high and line a large baking tray with foil. In a bowl stir together the yogurt, cucumber and mint, then season with a little salt. Set aside.
Coat the cod in the tikka paste and sit on the lined tray. Grill for 3 minutes. Toss the asparagus in the olive oil and season with salt. Turn over the cod and add the asparagus to the tray. Grill for a further 3-4 minutes, until the cod is cooked through, opaque and flakes easily, and the asparagus is tender.
Meanwhile, heat the dal according to pack instructions. Serve the cod with the dal, asparagus and raita, plus a few extra mint leaves scattered over.
