Paleo Indian Fish Recipe – Machi Masala

How To Make Machi Masala

Mackerel is one of the more oilier fish which is great for omega 3 fatty acids but does not work with traditional lemon and herbs pairing which is why I absolutely love this indian spiced version which leave you wanting more!

Ingredients

• 4 herrings or mackerel (boned and cleaned)
• 2 x 3 finger pinches salt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 green chillies (seeded)
• Small sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves
• 2 x 3 finger pinches coriander powder
• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 onion (chopped)
• Lemon wedges (garnish)

Method

1. Slash fish, sprinkle some salt on both sides each and set aside
2. Blend lemon juice, garlic, chillies, coriander leaves and coriander powder with a bit of salt until you make a paste.
3. Heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil and fry onions till golden. Then add the paste from (2) and fry gently for around 5 minutes. You will now have a thick and smooth paste.
4. Spread paste inside each fish, use remaining oil to add to this as well.
5. Grill fish for 4 minutes on each side in moderate heat.
6. You can do this in the oven if you wrap in foil and bake for 20 minutes at 180C / 350F.
7. Garnish with lemon wedges and enjoy!
