Lets see how to make this fish tikka….
- Wash and cut fish in desired size.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl (Turmeric powder, Red chilli powder, Coriander powder, Garam masala powder and salt.
- Then add ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, yogurt and colour.
- Use your hand to 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…in refrigerator or for atleast 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Take a baking sheets and line up by placing them leaving little gap between each piece.
- Drizzle little oil over the top.
- Preheat oven to 400 F 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.
