History

Fish Tikka originates from North Indian cuisine, where the traditional method of cooking meat and seafood in a tandoor (clay oven) has been used for centuries. The word "Tikka" means "pieces" or "chunks," referring to the bite-sized cuts of fish used in this dish.

Influenced by Mughlai and Punjabi culinary traditions, Fish Tikka evolved as a healthier alternative to fried seafood, gaining popularity in Indian restaurants worldwide. The use of yogurt and spices for marination enhances the flavor while keeping the fish tender and juicy.

Today, Fish Tikka is a sought-after dish in both traditional and modern Indian cuisine, enjoyed as a starter or a main course with naan, rice, or salads.
