Grilled Fish Tikka

Ingredients :

Surmai / King Fish - 500 gms

 (Cut in 2x2 inch pieces)

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 1/2 tspn

Turmeric - 1/2 tspn

Red chilli powder - 1/2 tspn

Deghi Mirch - 1/2 tspn

Garam Masala - 1/4 tspn

Coriander powder - 1 tspn

Green chilly chopped - 1 tspn

Lemon juice - 2 tspn

Salt - to taste

Oil - 1 Tbsn

* *You can use 1 tspn of deghi mirch instead of red chilli in case you like less spicy. Deghi Mirch will only give color and is less bitter than red chilli powder..

Procedure :

1. Wash and clean the fish thoroughly.

2. Take a glass bowl and add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, deghi Mirch, lemon juice, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, salt, oil, coriander powder, green chilli and mix.

3. Now add fish and rub the masala mixture on all sides of fish.

4. Cover the bowl with cling sheet and keep it in refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate.

5. Grill the fish on grill tawa for 4 mins then flip the side (fish is always very delicate, please flip it carefully) and cook for 4 more minutes. Once more flip it and cook for sometime. 

Fish takes only 10-12 mins to cook. Do not over cook fish or it will become hard. Best way to check if it is completely done or not is, pick up any one piece and slice it in centre and see. Cooked fish would turn totally translucent and white, which was transparent earlier.

Serve it with Dahi Mint Chutney.
