    Hi mullai, I tried many of ur recepies.It came out really well….can i make this fish tikka with king fish or pomphret?pl suggest me.

    1. Mullai

      Deepu, king fish might work but not sure about pomfret as its not that fleshy. Pomfret can be broiled as a whole fish as deboning is quite difficult. Thanks for your feedback.

      Ron, baking sheet is any oven proof tray, you can also place aluminum foil over that to avoid sticking. I haven’t tried Pollock, so don’t know about the taste. If its fleshy and less stinky then go ahead and make a small batch.

    mullai,

    what i generally do is, use all the dry powders of your ingredients list + tandoori powder (except yogurt and lime,gg paste), mix well in a cup and roll every piece into that. the fish is uniformly coated with the masala on all the sides, then put them on dosa tawa and cook. then garnish with onion and lime.

    Hi Mullai,

    I have once made this recipe with tilapia fillet, almost the same ingredients except for food color and lime. i thought lime would break them. I baked them. it turned too soft. my son (6 yrs old) commented ‘way too soft’ ,so i stopped baking fishes. i hv not bought catfish. i love to eat fish but scared of the smell. i found tilapia has the least fish smell.
    After seeing the pic of this, i again want to bake the fish(tilapia) today. tell me what has to be done to have the fish in the right consistency, not too soft not too hard.

    regards

    Hi Mullai…i tried this dish yesterday..it came out well ..but it wasnt as crispy or browned as in de pic…i broiled for a min and 10 secs afraid of burning the whole thing..may be that was de reason..but thanks for such a wonderful recipe.

    Mullai, can you give the suggested weight for the fish. We do not eat cat fish and I would like to substitute for another kind.

    Thank you for your hard work on this site…it’s a fantastic resource!

    Hello Mullai.. today I want to tell u all the recipes that I tried from Spiceindiaonline.com

    I have preparing fish tikka with salmon.. its excellent…we really enjoy it inspite of being done in negligible oil..

    Thank you

    Well, you have the answer in your question. TRY ! try! try! is all that it takes. Many attempts, quite a lot of flops and atleast 2 to 3 trials before the recipe actually appears here.

    Thanks,
    Mullai.
