just place the fish on it. Let it sit in the sunlight for 30 mins or so. |

I learnt cooking from your blog only..I live in Singapore n daily will check your blog before doing any dish..you are just awesome..
Coming to this recipe I tried without kashmiri red chilli powder and it came out well..
Thanks

Hi aarthi
If i leave the kashmiri chilli powder out, should I increase the chilli powder amount? I note your recipe calls for 2spoons of kashmiri powder which may alter the consistency of the masala paste. Planning to try for the weekend.
Thank you!
Aarthi
@Kalaiyarasi KU can skip kashmiri chilli. It is just for colour..add chilli powder as per ur taste.

It looks great! I can't wait to try it out.
Would you serve it with rice or naan? Any side dishes?
Aarthi
