Tandoori Pomfret

Pomfret is one of my favorite in seafood. And, if you are a fish lover, then this is the dish you should definitely give a try. Traditionally, any variety of Tandoori is made in a tandoor oven or clay oven. But since i don’t have a traditional tandoor, i have just grilled my pomfret.

Ingredients:

600 gm         1 big Pomfret

2 tbsp           Ginger-Garlic Paste

1                   Lemon

1 tsp             Turmeric Powder

1 1/2 tbsp     Kashmiri Chili Powder

2 tsp             Coriander-Cumin Powder

1 tsp             Garam Masala Powder

1 tsp             Mustard Oil

1 tbsp           Kasuri Methi / Dry Fenugreek Leaves

1/2 tsp          Carom Seeds

2-3 tbsp        Greek Yogurt or Hung Yogurt

2-3 tbsp        Cream

1 tbsp           Gram Flour (Besan), roasted

Method:

1. Clean the fish and make few deep incisions on both sides of the fish.
2. Combine ginger garlic paste, 1/2 tbsp chili powder, turmeric, lemon juice and salt, in a bowl. Add the fish and rub in the marinade on both sides, making sure the fish is completely marinated.
3. Let it rest for 30 mins.
4. Meanwhile, take the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well.
5. Rub the fish with the marinade to coat properly. Also try to fill some marination inside the fish.
6. Cover and set aside the marinated fish in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight.
7. Cook the fish for 6-8 mins each side, on the griller, basting with some oil in between.
8. Serve hot with some onion rings, lemon wedges and a mint chutney.
