Trivia
[Hardcore] Fish version of 'Chicken Tikka', but enthusiastically supported by urban yogis (yoga practitioners)/fitness enthusiasts as 'protein source superior to chicken' due to fast digestion/absorption and low lipids. The absolutely indispensable spice for making fish Tikka is 'Ajwain'. Its refreshing thyme/oregano-like aroma completely erases fishy odor, sublimating it into refined restaurant taste.
