Sarson fish tikka is made with double-marinated fish pieces. First, they are marinated with lemon juice, salt, turmeric, and ginger-garlic paste and then with a mixture that contains a variety of aromatic powdered spices and herbs along with curd, roasted besan, and more. Grilled in stages with a dash of butter greased on the surface, the end result is fabulous.
Marinate 400 grams of fish with 1 tsp of salt, ½ piece of lemon juice, ½ tsp of turmeric powder and ½ tsp of ginger garlic paste in a bowl. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes. Squeeze out the juice and keep the fish pieces aside. Discard the juice.
Mix ¼ cup of curd, 1 tbsp of besan (gram flour, roasted), 2 tbsp of mustard oil, ½ tbsp of ginger garlic paste and 1 tbsp of yellow mustard paste very nicely in another bowl. Follow it up with ½ piece of lemon (juice), 1 tsp of garam masala powder, 1.5 tbsp of coriander powder, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper powder, 1 tsp of red chili powder, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of chaat masala powder, 1 tsp of kitchen king masala powder (any brand), 2 tsp dry fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi, crushed) and mix nicely again.
Add the marinated fish pieces to the mixture and coat each piece nicely. Cover and let it marinate for 2 hours.
Insert the marinated fish pieces in different skewers and put them over a charcoal grill. Roll gently to cook them nicely on all sides.
Remove when half done and apply butter on all sides. Grill again until it is charred and grilled properly.
Your tasty and spicy homemade sarson fish tikka is ready to serve. Garnish with coriander leaves and lemon wedges and enjoy.
Take any fish with fewer bones to make this dish.Always use roasted gram flour for additional taste and crispiness.I prefer using mustard oil in the marinade. It adds to the taste and flavor of the fish tikka.You can use kitchen king masala powder of any brand in the recipe.
