Step 1 – Marinate the Fish for Tandoori Fish in Electric Tandoor

Marination is very important for any Tandoori Recipe, so we need to do with this Tandoori Fish Recipe. Whether you make Tandoori Fish in Electric Tandoor, Gas Tandoor or on a Charcoal Tandoor, the Fish marination process and spices will remain same. So let’s get started and see how to marinate Fish to make a perfect, crispy outside and juicy inside Tandoori Fish in electric tandoor.

Wash 750 Grams boneless and skinless Fish properly. Wash with Salt and Lemon to remove any unpleasant smell out of Fish. Take care while washing the Fish as Fish meat are very tender; so make sure you wash them very gently so that Fish pieces should not break or mess-up.
Keep the washed Fish in a strainer for 20 minutes so that all the extra water is strained very well out of Fish. You can alternatively take a cotton cloth and tap dry the Fish pieces.
Then take the washed Fish in a big bowl and add marinating spices.
So add ½ Cup of Hung Curd (Dahi, Yogurt)
(To make hung curd, hang the Curd (Yogurt) in a thin cotton cloth for at least for 30 minutes so that all the water will strain out of Curd)
Add 1.5 Tsp Ginger Garlic Paste. Try if you can use the homemade Ginger Garlic paste.
(To make Ginger garlic paste at home take 40% Ginger and 60% Garlic and grind them with little water to make a fine paste)
Add 1 Tsp Cumin Powder. To make Cumin powder at home simply roast cumin seeds in a pan for 3 to 4 minutes at low flame. When done, let it cool and then grind to make a fine powder.
Add 1 Tsp Coriander Powder, ½ Tsp Red Chilli Powder and ½ Tsp Yellow Chilli Powder.
(Yellow Chilli Powder will give an amazing unique spicy taste to your Tandoori Fish in Electric Tandoor. But if Yellow Chilli Powder is not available, simply increase the quantity of Red Chilli Powder to 1 Tsp instead of ½ Tsp).
Add 2 Tsp dried Fenugreek Leaves (Kasuri Methi), 1 Tsp Salt (Namak), ½ Tsp Black Pepper Powder and ½ Tsp Garlic Powder (Optional). If garlic powder is not available, you can skip it.
You can optionally add a small pinch of Red Food Color if you want to give a nice red color to your Tandoori Fish.
Then gently and evenly rub all the spices on fish pieces with your hands. Rub gently so that fish pieces should not break.

So follow these simple recipe instructions to make your Tandoori fish in Electric Tandoor.

Foil the Tandoor Plate properly with a heavy silver foil.
See This Tandoor Fish in Electric Tandoor Recipe Video Here.
Preheat the electric tandoor at 210 degree F (or 100 degree C). When electric tandoor is heated, keep foiled Tandoor plate in it for 30 seconds so foil gets little heat.
Grease well the foil plate with Butter so fish pieces should not stick on it while roasting.
Then put the marinated Fish pieces on foiled Tandoor plate. Keep little distance between fish pieces so that they should get proper heating all sides.
Put Tandoor plate in preheated electric tandoor.
Let the Fish roast in tandoor for 5 minutes and then take the Tandoor plate out of Tandoor.
See if there’s any extra water came out of Fish, discard it.
Brush all the Fish pieces with Butter and then keep the Tandoor plate back in Tandoor.

Now at this stage, you need to keep the Electric tandoor ON only for 3 minutes. Be careful, you do not need to keep the tandoor ON for more than 3 minutes.
Then after three minutes switch off the Tandoor but do not take the Tandoor plate out yet. Leave Tandoor plate inside the Electric tandoor for 5 minutes so that it will get the final cooking in low heat. This slow cooking will ensure that your fish come out juicy inside.
After 5 minutes, take the Tandoor plate out of electric tandoor and very carefully dish-out the fish pieces with the help of a tong. Do not break the fish pieces.
And your spicy and tasty Tandoori fish is ready, serve hot with your favorite sauce, chutney and a cup of hot tea.
