fish tikka

Spiced grilled seafood

Fish tikka is a South Asian dish of fish chunks marinated in yogurt and spices, then grilled or roasted, often in a tandoor oven.

The marinade typically includes turmeric, cumin, and chili, giving the fish a reddish-orange color and smoky flavor.

Like chicken tikka, it's served as an appetizer or main course: We ordered the fish tikka with mint chutney.
