Ingredients

• Fish fillet (e.g., salmon or basa) - 300 grams

Steps

1. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt to create a marinade.
3. Add the fish cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
