Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Fish fish of your choice, I’m using dorade
  • For the Marinade:
  • teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • teaspoon Red chilli powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
  • Required salt
  • Stuffing for Fish cavity:
  • Lemon wedges
  • 4 to 5 Garlic pods peeled
  • 3 to 4 Green Chillies slit or halved
  • ½ cup chopped coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Other Ingredients:
  • Oil to brush on top of the fish
  • ¼ teaspoon Garam masala powder to sprinkle while grilling

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients under "For the marinade".
  • Clean and wash the whole fish in cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen paper towel.
  • With a sharp knife, make a few diagonal gashes about ½-inch deep on each side of the fish.
  • Rub the marinade well on fish to coat the inside of the fish and the incisions as well, especially in the slits.
  • Place the ingredients under "Stuffing for fish cavity" inside the body cavity of the fish. Cover and let refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Place the fish in a grill basket if you have one. Otherwise you can grill it directly.
  • Preheat the grill. Place the grill basket with the fish (or the fish directly) on the grill and close it.
  • Brush the fish with oil using a pastry brush & sprinkle garam masala powder while cooking.
  • Grill for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until cooked and beautifully charred.
