Spicy delicious grilled Fish recipe (Masala fried Pomfret), full of flavors and goes so well with steamed white rice,pulao,khichadi or just as it is!
Its very easy recipe,just under 30 mins and tastes amazing with rice or just as it is.
The best part of this recipe is it requires some basic readily available ingredients and you can make a wonderful dish with it.
Kids would love this fish recipe too. I will soon share another version Rava fried Pomfret / fish recipe with some easy spice mix to apply, so do come back to check out that recipe too.
Here is what you need to do,firstly wash the fish well and apply salt,turmeric powder,red chili powder,coriander powder,cumin powder.
Next grind the curry leaves,garlic cloves,small ball of tamarind together to a smooth paste.
Add this paste to fish,along with little yogurt. Adding yogurt is totally optional.
Keep this aside for 10 mins atleast for marination.
Finally heat a grilling pan or even a plain griddle if you don't have a grilling plate,apply little oil to it and grill or cook the fish along with masala till done.
To get that lovely red color always use Red Chili Powder which is milder in spice level but gives vibrant red colors to dishes like Kashmiri Red Chili Powder or Deggi Mirch Powder.
