Fish Tandoori

Ingredients:

1 large fish, whole (about 2 lb.)
1 cup SCD yoghurt
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp green chile paste
1 tsp legal coriander powder
1 tsp homemade tomato sauce
1 tsp legal red chili powder
1/2 tsp legal cumin powder
1 tsp tandoori masala powder [see below]
Salt to taste

Tandoori Masala Powder:

4 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp legal garlic powder
4 tsp paprika
3 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp legal mango powder
1 tsp dried mint
3 tsp deep red food coloring [optional] [Not sure if this is legal ... I leave
it out.]
1 tsp legal chili powder
1 tsp ground turmeric

Preparation:

Method to make Tandoori Masala Powder:
Mix all ingredients together and store. Use as required.
This will keep for months if stored in an airtight container.

For tandoori fish:
After cleaning the fish, make slanting gashes on the fish
on each side, in such a way that the fish remains whole.
Marinate the fish in the combined masala for about 4 hours.
Prepare a baking dish and brush the bottom of the dish
with a little oil. Carefully place the fish in the center of
the dish and brush with some oil on top. Pour any remaining
marinade into the dish and bake in a 375 F oven until the
fish is done and becomes golden brown at the top.
Serve garnished with coriander leaves and lemon wedges.
