Make Onion Paste: Once browned, drain the onions and blend them into a smooth paste. Set this aside for later use.
-
Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, after removing the ghee, sauté the garlic paste until fragrant, then set aside. This adds another layer of depth to the marinade.
-
Marinate the Fish: Allow the ghee to cool slightly before mixing in the onion paste, sautéed garlic, and all the remaining ingredients. Coat the fish pieces thoroughly in this mixture and let marinate for 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
-
Skewering and Grilling: Preheat your grill. Skewer the marinated fish pieces onto grilling skewers. Roast them on the grill for about 10 minutes, allowing them to develop a beautiful char.
-
Baste and Finish Cooking: After the initial grilling, remove the skewers and baste the fish with melted butter. Return to the grill for another 5 minutes to enhance the buttery flavor.
-
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the skewers. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a refreshing yogurt and mint chutney for a delightful finish.
