I didn't know massala was used for fish because Indian restaurants always cook it with chicken in France and I like this dish. I love fish so this recipe should be great for me to experiment new feelings!

Hi Arthi, can I go for overnight marination? If so, do I need to wait until the fish returns to room temperature before putting it in the oven? Pls help
