How to make Grilled Indian Fish Steak with Yogurt Sauce and Fried Rice
For the fish marinade
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
Add the fish steaks and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
For grilling the fish
Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the fish steaks with oil.
Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
For the yogurt sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, and chat seasoning.
For the fried rice
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, bell pepper, and carrot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the eggs. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then break them up into small pieces.
Add the cooked rice, carrots, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), salt, and pepper to the pan.
Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and the peas are tender.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
To serve
Spoon the fried rice onto a plate.
Top with the grilled fish steak and spoon the yogurt sauce over the top.
Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
Tips & Tricks
For an extra smoky flavor, you can grill the fish steaks over a charcoal grill.
If you don't have any ginger-garlic paste, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of minced ginger and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.
To make the yogurt sauce spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
