    Fish Tikka Recipe

    Hope everyone had a great Diwali..I had a wonderful blasting Diwali. It was so special to me since it is my first Diwali after wedding. We had great foods, lots of fun, lots of crackers in my mum's place. I completely enjoyed it. Now off to the recipe.

    I am not a big fan for fish. But last weekend I absolutely fell in love with fish, when I tasted fish manchurian and this fish tikka. I never thought that fish taste so good
    when had Chinese style and when it gets a grill twist. I used the basic tikka masala recipe, but I didn't marinate it for a long time since it is fish.I thought of using the oven to grill these, but due to the frequent power cut in our place my plan got completely failed. So I decided to grill it tawa. Still these tikkas turned out beautiful.

    Each piece of fish was so beautifully cooked and tastes amazing. They were spicy, tangy, flaky and just melts in your mouth. Each piece of fish absorbed all the flavours which you add there. All together it was a special dish.Try it out and you will know
    why it is so special.

    • Leave this to marinate for at least  30 mins.
    • Now take wooden skewers and arrange this fish pieces in it.
    • Heat a non stick tawa on medium heat and drizzle few drops of oil over it.

    Tips & Tricks

    • You can cook this in oven too. Preheat the oven to a grill mode at 220 Degree C/450 Degree F . Arrange the skewers on an oiled foil lined baking tray and cook in the oven for 10-15 mins. Take the tray from the oven half way through and flip the skewers over and cook again.
    • You can skip the skewering process and cook the fish as it is.

      Happy Diwali! Thanks for the recipe..Big fan of your blog..I leave comments occasionally..mostly asking questions...I have a request..when you do recipe that is dry (not too much gravy)i.e. backed in oven, deep fried, bbq-ed, or roasted..it would be really nice if you put one picture such that we can see the inside of food...fish piece cut in the middle. Mostly to see the texture/colour of food...just to get an idea...mine usually get over cooked and dry. Would be big help...if you could. Thanks again.

      I'm a sucker for things on sticks and tikka is always a treat. I wish I had some fish in my freezer cause I'd be making this ASAP.

      I just finished making 2 batches of gulab jamun today and am planning on making paneer, pea and potato samosas tomorrow.

      You told that we should use 1 cup curd in the ingredients. i went ahead and used one cup without looking at your pictorial. It became very watery 🙁 . Please revise the ingredients. Your pictorial doesnt suggest one cup curd. I used a standard measure cup so it shouldnt be wrong.

      @ShwetaYou need 1 cup of marinate for 500 gms of fish. I think you used little watery curd so that it has turned watery.

      you should use thick curd without any water in it.
