Tasty recipe for air fried tandoori fish. Recipe with step by step pictures

This is a very simple recipe for Fish Tandoori made in an air fryer. The same can be baked in an oven. I have given the details of both the procedures below. The fish comes out perfectly grilled every single time and the addition of cream and cheese in the marination makes it rich and finger licking good.

I have used karimeen – Kerala Style Pearspot Fish today. Pomfret, Mackerel, snapper also works very well for this recipe.

Now lets make an awesome and relatively healthy Tandoori Fish.
Here is what you will need.
Note: Use thick ginger garlic paste. For hung curd, place curd / yogurt on a muslin cloth and let it drain for 30 minutes. The leftover thick curd is what we will use for the recipe.

Take all the ingredients listed under marinade and add it to a small mixie jar. Dont add any water.

Grind all the Masala ingredients to a fine paste. Don’t add water while grinding. Pulse it several times until you get a fine paste. Stop several times and scrape the sides with a spatula so there are no big bits of cheese that remains.

The paste should be smooth. Set aside.

Wash, clean and prep the fish. Make small gashes on the fish with a sharp knife so the masalas can penetrate and season the fish throughout. Be gentle and do not cut too deep. These cuts / crevices will hold the masalas later. So take time and make as many even cuts as possible. This is a very important step.

Apply the marinade on the fish. Make sure that the masalas are evenly coated. Apply masala in the gashes so the fish gets evenly seasoned.

Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for twenty minutes.

Place the marinated fish in the air fryer ( do not over crowd) and fry them for 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees celcius.
Note: Bigger fishes might take more time while smaller fishes / steaks cook faster. So start checking after 12 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake at 200 degrees celcius for 15-20 minutes. (Adjust the timing depending on the size of the fish)

The fish is done after the air frying time. Fantastic Tandoori fish fry is ready.
