Tandoori Pomfret is a fusion of the iconic Indian tandoori cooking style with the fresh seafood flavors of coastal India. The use of a tandoor (traditional clay oven) for grilling meat and seafood dates back centuries to the Mughal era.

Pomfret, a popular fish in India’s coastal regions, particularly in Maharashtra, Goa, and Kerala, has been a staple in traditional cooking. Over time, it was incorporated into the North Indian tandoori cuisine, where marinating seafood in spiced yogurt before grilling became a popular method.

Today, Tandoori Pomfret is a beloved dish in Indian seafood restaurants, street food stalls, and home kitchens, offering a perfect balance of smoky, tangy, and spicy flavors.
