Which fish have you used here Ruchi?
I have used tilapia. This works great with salmon too!
Hey why to wash fish with Vinegar…..
To kill germs and to get rid of any unpleasant smell. I do this for all non-veg preparations – Fish, Mutton, Chicken, Shrimp etc.
Can we same recipe for chicken too?
Yes why not…though I will share my recipe for chicken tikka too…soon!
Recipe looks simple and yummy. But I have doubt my mom used to tell me, we should not use dairy(milk, curd) while cooking fish. Is it safe to use curd?
I use to think that too…but not any more! 🙂
Hi Ruchi, going to try this one out whilst camping tomorrow. Will come back with the feedback.
Looking forward to your feedback!
