Any type of marine life that humans consider to be food is considered seafood, with fish and shellfish topping the list. Omega-3s, iron, B and D vitamins, protein, and other essential minerals found in seafood are necessary for health and wellness at all ages. The vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and shellfish are beneficial for a healthy heart, strong bones, developing brain, and immune system. Seafood is not only healthy but can startle taste buds if cooked properly too! Cooking is all about experimenting with ingredients and finding the right ones to enhance the taste of your dish. There are countless methods for preparing seafood, some of which are quick, and healthy, and others which are merely simple. Make sure to baste it beforehand to keep it from drying out if you plan to grill it to lock in the moisture, nutrients, and flavour. Chef Rahul Kumar from Sheraton Grand Hotel Bangalore, Brigade Gateway shares his exotic recipe of Tandoori Pomfret which is sure to hit the right spots on your taste buds. Tandoori pomfret is a dish in which an entire pomfret is marinated and cooked in a tandoor or in an oven. This dish is delectable as it has all the smokey and tangy flavours of the tandoor.
