Tandoori Fish Tikka

Tandoori Fish Tikka is a flavorful Indian BBQ dish featuring marinated fish that is grilled to perfection. This gluten-free delight is infused with aromatic spices, offering a smoky and tender bite with every piece.

Ingredients

• Fish fillets (boneless, skinless) - 300 grams
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ginger paste - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Tandoori masala - 2 tablespoons
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish) - a handful

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and red chili powder to create a marinade.
2. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Thread the marinated fish pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
