How to make Fish Tikka

Why cooks start here

Fish Tikka is cooked the way coastal barbecues cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a pakistani family cook actually puts it on the table.

Fish Tikka brings the warmth of Pakistan’s coastal barbecues to your home, capturing the essence of gatherings by the sea where fish is grilled with a practiced hand. Seasoned with care, this dish reflects the tradition of salt judged by touch and fat used without hesitation, echoing the way family cooks have shared it for generations. Expect the fish to be tender, its flavor a harmonious blend of yogurt’s creaminess, ajwain’s subtle hint, and the vibrant kick of tikka masala. A squeeze of lemon brightens the dish, enhancing the sea salt’s embrace. Enjoy it as a communal centerpiece, inviting all to partake and savor.
