The star ingredient in this recipe is tandoori spice blend, a fragrant combo that includes cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and garlic. We love it with tilapia and other kinds of mild fish, which absorb the robust taste without being overwhelmed by it. Steaming the fish in individual packets maintains its flavour and prevents it from drying out.
