Ingredients:
1 whole fish 1 tbsp of garam masala 3 tbsp cooking oil To be ground into paste 1 ½ inch piece ginger ½ tsp cumin seeds 8 cloves of garlic 1 tbsp red chilli powder 2 inch cube of green papaya 2 lemons juice 1 tsp haldi powder salt to taste Method: Clean and scale the fish. Wash it well. Wipe and dry the fish. Make four slits on either side of the fish with a sharp knife. Apply the ground paste all over including the inside of the stomach. Marinate this mixture for 8 hours. Pierce the fish length wise with a skewer and cook in a tandoor or on a charcoal barbecue. However if these methods of cooking are not available then cook under a grill or bake in the oven. Turn the fish every 10 minutes and cook until light brown. Heat the oil and brush on the fish with a pastry brush while cooking. When the fish is almost cooked sprinkle with garam masala and cook till it turns golden brown. Serve with slices of lemon, naan and mint chutney. |
