Check the fish fillets for bones and ensure they are clean, removing any skin if necessary.

Cut the fish into pieces, making sure they are slightly larger than the desired final size as they will shrink when cooked.

Prepare the marinade by adding chili paste, ginger paste, and juice from 1 lemon to a bowl.

Add yogurt (3-4 tablespoons) to the bowl and mix well.

Incorporate spices: coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper, and garam masala according to taste.

Let the marinade sit for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Marinate the fish pieces in the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

If using spinach, boil and blend it into a paste, then add it to the marinade for color.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil to the marinade and mix well.

If using food color, add it to achieve the desired green color, or use the spinach paste instead.

Thread the marinated fish pieces onto skewers, ensuring they are secure to prevent them from falling off while cooking.

Preheat the grill and brush it with a mixture of butter and oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the skewers on the grill for about 3-4 minutes, watching closely to prevent them from falling off.

Serve the fish tikka with chaat masala and lemon juice on top.
