Hariyali Fish:

Baked Green Fish. Baked Green Tilapia. Hariyali Machili. Baked Chapalu.

Rule On Marination while marinating…always place them in refridgerator! At room temperature bacteria and germs multiply pretty fast! Never ever taste your marinade after adding to raw meat/fish/chicken!!! Never reuse the same marinade that has been tossed with meat! Discard the excess!

Hariyali fish is nothing but Green colored fish! My brother’s recipe! He prepares fresh herb’s paste…..marinate…bake them! Sounds healthy right! Yeah…he is a fitness freak!!

Ingredients:

Tilapia(no much choice here) 2 fillets
Salt
Cilantro leaves few
Mint leaves few
Jalapenos 1 cored and chopped
Onion 1 bulb
Garlic 2 beads
Ginger 1″ grated
Olive oil few spoons
Yogurts 1 cup
Lime juice/lemon juice 2-4 spoons
Cilantro leaves to garnish.

Method:

Wet-grind coarsely all the above said ingredients(except 1st and last).

Then run this over fish fillets. Ziplock them in a baggie and leave it in fridge overnight!

Spray oil in an aluminium foil. Place these fillets. Maybe leave enough gap between each fillet!

Bake them at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

If you like that slight burnt flavor like me…..place them in upper rack for 2 minutes(broil them)….so you’ll get that slightly charred effect.

Garnish with cilantro leaves! Serve warm as a side dish!
