Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg fish fillets cut into pieces
  • 1 medium onion roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp heaped tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 mug plain fresh yoghurt
  • 2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 green chillies
  • 1 small bunch coriander stems and leaves
  • 2 limes freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp tandoori powder
  • 2 tsp salt or to taste

Method
 

  1. Clean and dry the fish fillets, put them in a bowl and set aside.
    Put all the rest of the ingredients into a blender jug and blend until you have a smooth paste. Pour this over the fish pieces and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
    Preheat the oven at 200C. Pour the fish and it’s marinade into a heatproof oven dish or an oven tray, try and ensure that all the pieces are in a single layer (not piled on top of each other). Bake for 15-20 minutes.  Remove and flip the pieces carefully, then put the tray back in the oven for another 15 minutes.  You can turn the broiler on during the last 5 minutes if you like for a good rich colour. Remove and serve!
    Enjoy!
