Buttery Fish Tikkas, This is not a recipe I make often due to the large butter quantity But for those who’d like to give it a shot Here goes , This is MARVELLOUS, Fay! I have to jump up and kiss the cook{the recipe poster!}, that is YOU for sharing this I made this this afternoon for my Mom, Brother and one of my dad’s friend’s who joined us for lunch They all thanked me maybe, like, 60-80 times in 1 hour for this recipe{yeah, that’s like a thank you every minute}, no kidding! used King fish to make this fish tikka I have to tell you that I imagined there would be some red food colour in this recipe and I was worried while preparing it about this missing from the recipe But, I guess none of them noticed and there was no problem Now for the measurements of the various ingredients used for this recipe used 1/2 kg of King fish fillets to make these tikkas As for the butter or ghee{since our guest, my mom and brother are all avoiding both of these}, used 1 cup of cooking oil instead used 3/4 cup of sliced onions, 11 cloves of garlic of which I prepared the paste using about 1/4 cup of water, 1 tsp of cumin powder, 1 tsp {heaped} of turmeric powder, 1 1/2 tsps {heaped} of corriander powder, 1/2 tsp {heaped} and 1 1/4 tsps {flat} of red chilli powder and 1 1/2 tsps plus 3/4 tsp of salt As for the plain yoghurt, used 13 1/4 tbsps of plain low-fat yoghurt{beaten} To give this some gravy, I added 1/2 cup of water to this Now for the method of preparing this: One important point that is not mentioned here{but which I did} was to soak the fish fillets in a bowl with some freshly squeezed lemon juice and salt Mix in this mixture into the fish fillets nicely This is done to clean the fish and bring out all the dirt from it I kept this aside for nearly 1/2 an hour and then washed the fish under cold running water, transferred it to another bowl and proceeded with the marination part of the recipe In the meantime, on the stove-top, I hated a cup of oil and sauteed the garlic paste for a few minutes in it until it was almost dry Then, I added the onion paste to the same pan and sauteed that for a couple of minutes until it was almost dry as well After this, I added the red chilli powder, corriander powder, turmeric powder and the cumin powder to the dried pastes and mixed it well Next, I added the beaten yoghurt, salt and 1/2 cup of water{to get some gravy like consistency for this} I allowed this mixture to cook on medium flame for a few minutes Then, I added the clean fish fillets, mixed well and allowed them to cook, covered, for about 12 minutes on medium heat Then, I removed the pot from heat and kept it aside for an hour and a half Then, I applied some oil to lightly grease an aluminium foil Once greased, I laid out the fish fillets with the prepared masala that they were coated in, on the aluminium foil Next, I turned on the grill at 250C and allowed the fish to cook in it in the pre-heat mode for about 14 minutes While grilling, I opened the oven once in between and lightly mixed the fish pcs just to check how far they were done Then, I served this with plain hot rotis and everyone enjoyed them immensely I had a hard time with the smell of cooked fish{this is something which always bothers me}, but when I saw how much they relished it, I was as happy as they were! Thanks Fay, for a brilliant recipe My brother and Mom say that this must be a regular on the table;-) You made their day sitting miles away!
