Quick salmon tikka with cucumber yoghurt (17 minutes)
I love this dish. If you're a fan of chicken tikka masala, give this one a go. You might think it odd to use robust spice pastes on fish, but it's very common in southern India. When buying your fish, ask the fishmonger to scale it for you. You'll be amazed at how quickly these cook.
