Advice
Pat fish bone-dry and preheat the tray until smoking hot โ the tikka sears instantly and stays juicy.
Why it works: Dry surface = better Maillard browning; thick yogurt + spices form a clingy film while lemonโs gentle acidity tenderizes without turning the fish mushy.
Twist: Use salmon for buttery richness, or add ยฝ tsp ajwain + a splash of mustard oil for North-Indian aroma; for Malai Tikka, mix in 30 g cream + 30 g grated cheese and reduce chili.
