Quick-Made Recipe

1. Cut fish into bite-sized cubes; first marinate with salt, ginger-garlic paste, and a splash of mustard oil for 30 minutes to tenderise.
2. Prepare second marinade: Whisk hung curd with kasundi paste, turmeric, yellow chilli powder, chaat masala, gram flour, lemon juice, and chopped green chillies until smooth.
3. Coat fish cubes generously in the kasundi marinade; refrigerate for 2–4 hours to infuse deep flavours.
4. Thread onto skewers and grill on medium-high heat (or tandoor) for 8–10 minutes, turning and basting with mustard oil for golden char.
5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander, onion rings, lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.
