Tandoori Pomfret Recipe | Tandoori Fish at Home

If you are tired of making the usual fried fish and fish curry do give this amazing and super flavourful restaurant style tandoori pomfret a try, it is the easiest meal you can make and the best part is you use just one or two tsp of oil.

I always serve tandoori pomfret with a onions,a simple veggie salad, garlic naan and some times on top of jeera (cumin) rice along with dal makhani.

 

In this post I am also going to share with you how to get the perfect restaurant style tandoori marinade for any tandoori dish that sticks on chicken, fish. lamb and even cottage cheese without dripping on your grilling tray.

 



 

For 2 medium size pomfrets you need



Mix

1/2 tsp red chili powder (Kashmiri red chili)

1/2 tsp kasuri methi

1/2 tsp chaat masala

1 tsp ginger garlic paste

salt to taste

1/2 tsp tomato paste

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp oil

and most important 1 heaped tsp of gram flour, this helps the marinate to stick to the fish.

 

Start by washing the fish really well and marinate it with salt, lemon juice and turmeric for 20 min.

 





Then gently coat the marinade on top of the fish and also spread it inside all the cuts.

                                    

To get an even grilling and colour always grill fish on top of a wire rack.

For more flavour baste the fish with a mixture of butter, garlic and coriander.

Grill on 230 c for 20 min and turn the fish half way and baste the fish twice in between grilling.

 

                                                                    

Serve after resting the grilled fish for 5 min.

 

Now your done, this is the closest recipe to get restaurant style tandoori fish.
Hope you try it out some day.
