Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt

- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 6-ounce tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or mint
Instructions
- Bring the rice, 1 1/3 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the peas; cover and set aside.
- Puree 1/2 cup yogurt, the garlic, ginger, lime juice, cumin, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Transfer all but 3 tablespoons of the mixture to a large bowl. Pierce the fish a few times with a fork and season with salt; add to the bowl and toss. Marinate 15 minutes.

Reviews
This is my fiancé and I’s go to plan when we don’t know what to make. It’s simple, filling, and provides good leftovers for us.
Delicious! Make plenty of sauce.
The fish was bland by itself and didn’t take on the flavor of the marinade. 15 minutes is not nearly long enough. However, when I poured the sauce directly on top of the fish, it was fantastic. I loved the combination of flavors.
I found the fish to be drastically under seasoned, next time I’ll double up on the seasoning and marinade for an hour.
This was great. Loved the flavors will def have again
This was fantastic. I only like salmon and so I don’t cook other fish that often, but this recipe tasted so decadent and flavorful, it made me forget I was eating fish. After all the negative press I’ve read about Tilapia recently, we used cod and it was perfect.
I loved this! it took me right back to India! May be a bit salty for some- but we loved it!
I don’t like seafood but I make fish every once in a while because my family likes it. This recipe might actually convert me. I loved it. The sauce was amazing!!
Yummy and easy to make. This was my first time using my broiler and I thought the fish exploded in there. The butter started to pop under the broiled so BE CAREFUL. I just moved it to the middle rack and it cooked just fine. The serving sauce is really good, I would use it for other dishes too.
Very Yummy. Very Easy. My favorite kind of dinner!
