Looking for something new and interesting to spice up your usual dinner routine? This Tandoori Tikka Fish with Quick Raita recipe is an excellent choice! It’s quick, it serves two, and it’s filled with flavorful Indian spices to make mealtime much more interesting.
This meal is made with a Tandoori Tikka Meal Kit from Good It’s Gluten Free. These kits have all the necessary ingredients for a flavorful dish, such as spices, sauces and coating mixtures, and you just add the protein you choose. For this variation of their meal kit, I used white fish such as Mahi Mahi. To add a little extra something to this dish, rather than just making it as the directions suggest (which is equally delicious) I added cooked rice, sauteed some veggies, and made a quick raita.
Raita is an Indian side dish or condiment made with yogurt. My version uses Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, cilantro, and ground cumin.
