Fish Tikka

Ingredients:

Seer fish / Ney meen  - 250 grm  (deboned )

chilly powder -1tsp

pepper powder 1 tsp

turmeic powder - 1/2 tsp

ginger garlic paste- 2 tbsp

garam masala  - 1tsp

jeera powder -1tsp

corriander powder -1tbsp

green chilly -1

mint leaves  - a handful

corriander leaves - a handful

yogurt  4tbsp

lemon juice - 1tbsp

oil  -3tsp

salt to taste.

Method:

 Wash and cut fish into thick medium sized pieces.

Grind together mint leaves ,corriander leaves and green chilly to a paste.

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl (Turmeric powder, Red chilli powder, Coriander powder, Garam masala powder ,jeera powder, pepper powder and salt), then add ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, yogurt and the ground paste.

Mix well untill you get a thick batter. Now add the fish and toss to coat the masala evenly. Let this mixture marinate for for few hours, atleast 1/2 hour.

Take a baking tray and line up by placing them leaving little gap between each piece. Drizzle little oil over the top. Preheat oven to 400F and bake for 10 minutes, then remove and turn the fish pieces. Bake again for 10 more minutes.

Finally set the oven to broil and place the baking sheet on top rack to make them crispy and darken the colour. This should take only a couple of minutes, don't not leave it for more than 2 minutes, it will burn the fish pieces. This step is included just to add that extra touch to the dish, that includes nice dark brown colour on the sides and crispy edges.

 Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges and mint chutney.
