Marinade

Fish and Skewers

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, salt, and red chili powder. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the fish cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Skewering and Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. This step is optional for metal skewers.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Kebabs

    Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  3. 5

    Preheat the Tandoor or Oven

    Preheat your tandoor or oven to a high temperature of about 220°C (428°F).

  4. 6

    Cook the Kebabs

    Place the skewers in the preheated tandoor or oven. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and has a slight char.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the skewers and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
