Traditionally, Indian tandoori is made with chicken or lamb. However, it's also a delicious and healthy way to cook fish. Tandoori paste is available at most large supermarkets. Cucumber raita is the traditional accompaniment to tandoori dishes. (Serves 4-6)

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
