Tandoori skate wing

Here is a dish which I am very proud of. It always goes down well at the pub and  is very simple to prepare.
The Skate wing is marinated in a mix of Turmeric, fennel seeds, garam masala, garlic, fresh chilli, fresh ginger, dried corainder, cumin seeds and fresh coriander.
Now, I know not every home will have all these spices and ingredients, or maybe you do, but have never used them. I can say that just using a general curry powder seasoning will work as well.

• Trim the skate wings to your preference. rub them with the spices and a little olive oil. 
• Leave to marinade in a fridge for a couple of hours
• When you are ready to cook the wings, I start by searing them quite aggressively in a pan with some butter/ghee. Then transferring then to an ovenproof dish and roasting them 
• the oven should be set to 200c. A 300g wing will take around 5 minutes.
• This is a dish which will go great with salad, Bombay potatoes or just some plain rice.
• Once you remove it from the oven, you can check that its cooked by how easily the middle joint bone comes away.
• Skate does not keep very well, so it's always a good idea to cook it on the day of purchase.
• Any questions, please get in touch. Leave a comment below and i'll get back to you.
