There’s nothing easier than Grilled Masala Fish.  All you need is one large fish enough to serve two or three persons.  Get your fisher monger to scale and gut it.  Then it’s all yours.  Recently I won an electric grill, so decided to make one of our usual fish recipes.  The grill won a standing ovation and we now know what to do when surprise guests turn up.

The Recipe:

1 medium pomfret, scaled & gutted, keep whole with fins and tail.

For Marinade:  2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice; salt to taste; 1/4 tsp turmeric powder; 1 tbsp chili powder.  Mix to a liquidy paste.

Wash fish thoroughly with water, salt, and turmeric.  Drain on kitchen towels.  Marinade ( in the refrigerator) in the above mixture overnight.  Next day bring to room temperature.  Plugin the grill and adjust settings to 240 Centigrade.  Place a banana leaf on the grill with a little oil on it.  Place the fish on the preheated grill (until the desired temperature is reached) and grill for 5 minutes on each side.  Serve hot with lemon wedges.  The aroma wafting on the air is bound to bring the household into the kitchen, awaiting the moment to attack.
