NOTES : This seasoning, known as tikka paste, is usually made of spices, pureed fruit and lots of oil. Here, most of the fat is omitted and the flavors have been rearranged to create a delicious and fragrant sauce for shrimp, flounder, or other mild fish fillets. Can be used on poultry and vegetables. Enough for 1-pound of fish.
