Tandoori Trout
Serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a starter

8 trout fillets (150g/5oz) each
2 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp turmeric powder
½
tsp ground ginger
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
1 small clove of garlic, crushed in ½ tsp salt
150ml (¼ pt) low fat natural yoghurt

 

 

Method:

Mix all the spices and garlic and salt together with the yoghurt and brush over the trout, making sure that the paste covers the trout. Leave to marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably 6, turning at least once during this process.

Heat grill to maximum. Line the grill with lightly oiled kitched foil.

Remove the trout from the marinade and place on the grioll. Grill for about 5 minutes without turning, until the edges start to brown. Do not baste during this time as the trout should be dry when finished.

Serve with finely shredded lettuce and a lemon wedge for each person to squeeze over the fish and a yoghurt/mint sauce on the side.

Cook's note:
As an alternative you can use a proporietary tandoori paste mixed according to instructions.
