Detail overview
Fish Tikka
Fish Tikka is a succulent and flavorful Indian grilled dish made with boneless chunks of fish marinated in a zesty blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and traditional spices. The marinade typically includes ingredients such as ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, garam masala, and a touch of mustard oil, which helps in enhancing both flavor and tenderness.
The marinated fish is then skewered and grilled in a tandoor (clay oven) or on an open flame until perfectly cooked — slightly charred on the outside yet tender and flaky on the inside. The high-temperature cooking imparts a smoky aroma and seared texture that is characteristic of tikka-style dishes.
Fish Tikka is commonly served with fresh mint chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings. It's a healthy, protein-rich appetizer or main course, enjoyed for its light texture, vibrant spices, and delicious smoky essence. Ideal as a starter or part of a tandoori platter.
