Tandoori White Fish With a Green Chili Rice

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is a very simple, quick and easy recipe to make, you can have it on the table in about 35-40 minutes and that time is only because, of the longer cooking time for the rice. It tastes very good, I serve mine with a yogurt sauce, which I will list ingredients below, but you can serve as is or with whatever is your preference."

I had to make a few substitutions, so that may be the problem, but I found the rice lacking in a little flavor. I loved how easy it was to cook the fish.

This recipe is fantastic! One of the very best I've tried on this site. The flavours are awesome. I've made it without changes several times and my husband and I love it. The chile rice is awesome and I definitely recommend adding the yoghurt sauce!

This dish is simply outstanding! I made it with halibut, skipped the carrots as I was out and just increased the onions as we are big fans. The rice was awesome and complimented the dish well. I served with some fresh green beans on the side. This is a dish that we will definitely have again. Thanks for posting another great recipe!

I made it with Mahi-Mahi fillets. It was the most delicious dish of this type that I've ever made. It was also easy to prepare. My husband doesn't normally like Indian-type food, but he loved this! I had to substitute salsa verde for fresh green chilis, but the rice was incredible.
