Ingredients

• White fish fillets (like cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Fresh mint leaves - 30 grams
• Fresh coriander leaves - 15 grams
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons

• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Cut the fish fillets into 2-inch cubes and set aside.
2. In a blender, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, garlic, green chili, lemon juice, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to form a marinade.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the fish cubes with the marinade. Ensure the fish is well coated and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
