Jim is back
Cyclops is delighted to welcome back Jim Small, the person who first developed our yoghurts way back in 1988. Today’s range of premium products all owe their origins to Jim’s invention of recipe and process.
When he started Cyclops Jim was charged with enthusiasm for making better yoghurt than what was available in New Zealand at the time. Coming from outside the dairy industry allowed him to innovate at an artisan level and effectively create the first premium yoghurt. Some of his early innovations were, thicker, Greek style yoghurt, fruit on top and transparent packaging. In the early 90’s Cyclops introduced the first genuine strained Greek yoghurt to the market.
Jim says the reason he is so happy to be back with Cyclops after a few years away is because of the new team that is in place. He says, “the food industry is about more than simply making the best quality product. It requires a lot of other skills and disciplines. The team in place now are highly skilled in what they do which allows me to concentrate on the product and the processes – as I have always loved to do. It’s my dream job!”

Weeknight dinner, levelled up ✨
These Tandoori Fish Flatbreads are fresh, zesty, and ready in under 30 minutes 🙌
Tender spiced fish, cooling herbed yoghurt, crisp greens, and tangy pickled onions all wrapped up in warm flatbread.
-- Ingredients --
▪️ 300g firm white fish fillets (e.g. tarakihi)
▪️ 2 tbsp tandoori paste
▪️ 2 lemons
▪️ 1 tbsp vegetable oil
▪️ ½ cup Cyclops Thick & Creamy 1% Fat yoghurt
▪️ 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
▪️ 2 tbsp chopped coriander (+ extra leaves to garnish)
▪️ ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
▪️ 2 tbsp white vinegar
▪️ 1 tsp sugar
▪️ 2 soft flatbreads or naan, warmed
▪️ 1 cup baby spinach leaves
▪️ ½ cucumber, peeled into ribbons
▪️ Salt + pepper
▪️ Fresh green chilli, finely sliced (optional, for heat)
-- Instructions --
▪️ Cut fish into large bite-sized pieces. Mix tandoori paste with juice of ½ a lemon, toss fish to coat, and marinate 10–15 mins.
▪️ Pickle the onion: combine sliced onion, vinegar, sugar + a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside to soften and turn bright pink.
▪️ Make the herbed yoghurt: mix yoghurt, mint, coriander, juice of ½ lemon + pinch of salt until smooth.
▪️ Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high. Fry fish 2–3 mins per side until golden and just cooked through.
▪️ Spread yoghurt over warm flatbreads. Layer with spinach, cucumber ribbons + pickled onion.
▪️ Top with hot tandoori fish, extra mint leaves + sliced green chilli (if using). Serve with lemon wedges.
💡 Tip: Swap fish for paneer or tofu for a vegetarian twist – they soak up the tandoori flavours beautifully!
