Palometa tandoori

Tandoori pomfret is a traditional dish prepared with pomfret, a fish that’s popular in India’s coastal regions such as Maharashtra, Goa, and Chennai. The pomfret is washed, the inner organs are removed, and it’s then marinated in a combination of lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. After a few minutes of marinating, it’s mixed with red chili paste, garam masala spices, dahi, and turmeric. The fish is then cooked in a tandoor oven, and it’s usually served as an appetizer with green chutneys, lemon wedges, and onion slices. For the best experience, add a few butter garlic naan flatbreads on the side.
