Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chutney Paste:

   • Grind shallots, ginger, garlic, salt, green chilies, and curry leaves along with lime juice to a coarse paste. This aromatic blend will be the flavor powerhouse of your dish.

2. Prep the Mullets:

   • Clean the mullets thoroughly, removing the head and bones. Slit open the fish and generously apply a thick layer of the prepared chutney paste on the upturned insides of the fish. This step ensures that every bite is infused with the irresistible flavors of the chutney.

3. Stuffed Okras:

   • Slit open the okras and carefully stuff some of the chutney paste inside each one. This adds an extra dimension of flavor and texture to the dish, making it even more delightful.

4. Preheat the Grill:

   • Heat a thin layer of oil on the grill, ensuring it’s hot and ready to sear the fish and okras to perfection.

5. Grill the Fish:

   • Place the prepared mullets on the grill with the chutney paste side facing down (or the skin side up). Let them grill for approximately 5 minutes in this position, allowing the flavors to meld and the fish to cook through.

6. Grill the Okras:

   • Alongside the fish, place the stuffed okras on the grill. Let them grill alongside the fish, absorbing the smoky flavors and becoming tender and delicious.

7. Flip and Finish:

   • After 5 minutes, carefully flip the mullets so that the skin side is down. Grill for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring both sides are perfectly cooked and infused with the delectable flavors of the chutney paste.

8. Serve Hot:

   • Once grilled to perfection, remove the mullets and okras from the grill. Serve them hot, allowing your guests to indulge in the irresistible flavors and textures of this grilled chutney mullets dish.

Enjoy!
