Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Check for bones and remove any with tweezers.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, lemon juice, kasuri methi, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Coat fish fillets generously with the marinade, ensuring both sides are covered. Place in a shallow dish.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes while you prepare the grill.

  5. Step 5

    Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

  6. Step 6

    Grill marinated fish for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and grill marks appear. Fish should flake easily with a fork.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with fresh cilantro, onion slices, and lemon wedges.
