Fish and grilling are two of my favorite duo during this time of the year. We as a family are not big time fish eaters. But somehow after our stay in the Southern Coastal Regions of the country we get hooked to grilled fishes. The intense heat of the grill transforms tender fish into something pretty special. And for me as a cook, who is not very familiar with the nitty-gritty of cooking a typical fish curry, grilling is the best way to serve fish for a meal in no time. The hint of smoky flavor underneath the spicy marinade layer is what compels us to make Fish Tikka again and again. When we as a food-loving couple, think of dinner dates, one alternative is to dine at romantic restaurants or the second course of action is to plan romantic dinners at home. We usually go by the second choice.

With fish set on the grill, a hearty bowl of pasta on the stove and a fresh bountiful salad for the side dish is our idea of a perfect dinner at home. Husband is responsible for the selection of wines to accompany the meal and of course the background score. The aroma of the grilling fish engulfed the air surrounding the dining area. To many Pasta and Fish, may not sound a delicious combination especially for a romantic dinner date. But a quick to prepare Fish Tikka along with a bowl of flavorsome Spaghetti Aglio Olio is the kind of meal you need for summers. Also, we always aim at a mess and hassle-free meals for a dinner date. We love the contrast between the bold Fish Tikka and the light Garlicky Spaghetti. The light smoky flavor of the Tandoori Fish Tikka pairs so nicely with the pasta and the salad.

      Thank You. You can use the non-stick grill pan/oven/bbq either of these methods work for these fish tikkas.
