Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Begin by patting dry the fish pieces with a clean paper towel to ensure they absorb the marinade effectively.
- Marinate: In a bowl, combine the fish with fresh lemon juice, salt, and turmeric powder. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Soak Fenugreek Leaves: Soak the fresh fenugreek leaves in salted water for about 10 minutes, then squeeze and drain the water thoroughly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the soaked fenugreek leaves with cream, labneh, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, dried fenugreek leaves, gram flour, and egg yolks. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Assemble Tikkas: Add the marinated fish into the mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Thread the fish tikka pieces onto skewers for grilling.
- Grill the Fish Tikka: Preheat your barbecue (either charcoal or electric). Grill the skewers over high heat, ensuring to turn them frequently for even cooking.
- Baste and Finish: When the fish is halfway done, baste the fish tikkas with oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking. Continue to grill until the fish is fully cooked and has a nice char.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with your favorite chutney for dipping.
Enjoy your Amazing Fish Tikka as a delightful lunch or snack, and revel in the ultimate flavors of this delicious dish!
