Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fish fillets (1 pound (450g), boneless and skinless)
Yogurt (1 cup)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Ginger-garlic paste (1 tablespoon)
Tandoori masala (2 tablespoons)
Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1 teaspoon)
Coriander powder (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Oil (1 tablespoon (plus extra for drizzling))
Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Arrange the marinated fish fillets on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle a little oil over the top of the fillets to help them crisp up while cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through (should flake easily with a fork) and slightly charred on the edges.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite mint chutney.
