Tandoori Pomfret

Hi Friends,

       Kerala is the most beautiful place in India.... Known for its scenic beauty, backwaters, beaches and mountains.It is also known as Gods Own Country....

  We visited so many places like Trivandrum, Kovalam Beach, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey Backwaters. Loved each and every moments spend in Kerala.

Visited Kerala and not tasting seafood is not at all fair...... Their seafood whether gravy, fried or tandoori is just finger liking good. My today's recipe is from the state of Kerala.... Tandoori Pomfret :)
