Tandoori White Fish With a Green Chili Rice
"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.
