Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the white fish fillets into chunks of about 2 inches. This will allow them to cook evenly and absorb the marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the fish chunks to the marinade and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a zip-lock bag, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Tandoor or Oven

    If using a tandoor, preheat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using an oven, preheat it to 220°C (428°F).

  2. 5

    Skewer the Fish

    Thread the marinated fish chunks onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

  3. 6

    Cook the Fish

    Place the skewers in the preheated tandoor or on a baking tray if using an oven. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and has a nice char.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the fish from the skewers and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of naan or rice.
