Description

Fish tikka are small pieces of fish that is originally cooked in a clay oven called tandoor. In the absence of tandoor we have grilled it in a normal oven(OTG--Oven Toaster Grill).
One ingredient that gives zing to snacks, tandoori dishes etc. is chaat masala. Chaat masala is a spice blend consisting of black salt, chilli powder, cumin seeds and dry mango powder. There are as many recipes for chaat masala as there are households in India. Chaat masala is available in supermarkets.

Note

1) Use any fleshy fish like Seer fish.
