Preheat oven to 200ยฐC (400ยฐF). If using a tandoor, prepare it for baking.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure oven is fully preheated for even cooking. - 2
Make deep slashes on both sides of the fish. Season generously inside and out with salt, pepper, and coriander powder.

Stuff the cavity of each fish with some of the vegetable mixture and lemon slices. Place the remaining vegetable mixture over and around the fish in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Don't overcrowd the baking dish; allow some space for heat circulation. - 5
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If using a tandoor, adjust cooking time accordingly.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish and your oven. - 6
Let the koktal rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.

- โFor a spicier kick, add some sliced chili peppers to the vegetable mixture.
- โIf you don't have carp or sazan, other firm white fish like sea bass or bream can be used.
- โTraditionally, koktal is cooked on a bed of coals or in a tandoor, which imparts a unique smoky flavor. If baking in an oven, you can add a few drops of liquid smoke to the vegetable mixture for a similar effect.
