Fish Shashlik

Fish Shashlik :

Fish Fillets – ½ Kg  (Cut into cubes, add salt and lemon, then wash and keep aside-this ensures elimination of the fishy smell)
Onions 2  (Cut into cubes same dimensions as fish)
Capcicums 2 (Cut into cubes same dimensions as fish)
Tomato 2   (Cut into cubes – I did not use;  but you can)
Salt – 1 tsp
Chilly Powder 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste 1 teaspoon
Cumin (roasted and crushed) 1 tsp
Lemon juice of 1 lemon
Garam Masala Powder or All Spice Powder – 1 teaspoon
Oil 2 tablespoons

Mix all together.  Put on skewers and BBQ/Grill or shallow fry in little oil.  Brush with BBQ sauce now and then.

BBQ Sauce :

Green chilles 2 (chopped into slanting slices)
Green Chillies 1 (finely minced)
Sugar 1 teaspoon
Chillie Powder 1 teaspoon
Salt -1/2  teaspoon
Garlic paste ½ teaspoon
Vinegar 2 Tablespoons
Tomato ketchup 5 tablespoons

Take oil in a small pan when heated add garlic and fry for a few minutes.  Then add all other ingredients and cook for 5-8 minutes.  Cool.   Keep ½ of the sauce for basting, and ½ to be used as a dip at serving time.

Garlic Naan :

They don’t look so good in the pictues,  but they tasted awesome, soft and with a hint of garlic.   I fried them on a tawa but you could also bake them in a hot oven.  This is one recipe that you should try out.

For the dough : 2-1/2 cups plain flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-1/2 teaspoon yeast granules, 2 tablespoons ghee, 4 tablespoons yogurt, 1 teaspoon garlic, cut very fine,  1 teaspoon onion seeds/kalongee, coriander leaves 1 tablespoon cut fine, honey 1 tablespoon.

Mix all the above ingredients.  If the dough is still too hard add two tablespoons of water and knead till a soft dough is ready.   Put in a greased bowl and cover with cling wrap and leave to rise for 1-1/2 hour.   The dough will have doubled by now,  punch it back and roll into disks and keep on a flat greased platter to rise.  Bake in a 200 deg. C oven for 5-8 minutes till puffed up or fry on a tawa till it is done (I did it on a tawa).  Brush with garlic butter/plain butter.  Serve hot with Fish Shashlik.

  1. Like your presentation and display.. the way you have explained is very good and I will try this. Could you please tell me what type of fish to be used ??

  2. You can use any fish which is in fillet form (i.e. without skin and bones). Hammour, cod, red-snapper etc. In AUH you can get fresh fish fillets @ Coop and Carrefour or Spinneys, which are expensive. One I have used is Hammour, (I got frozen fish fillets) and they were easy to cut and the taste was awesome. Check in the frozen products aisle…. you will surely get…just thaw and cut and they are better than fresh.
