Fish Ularthiyathu/Roasted Fish

This is a variety dish unlike the usual fish fry and fish curry.
I had this dish from a small hotel at Aluva, Kerala and they call it as "Meen Ularthiyathu". Its so tasty and we liked this very much. The chef however shared the recipe with me and here I'am sharing it for you!!
