I must say that I was disappointed in the way the spice rub turned out. The cinnamon was a bit overwhelming (perhaps my attempt to measure a perfect 1/8 tsp failed), and things definitely seemed off of balance. If I try this again, I may toast the spices first or broil the fish -- otherwise, the texture was raw and grainy, and the flavor was not developed the way I anticipate from prepared Indian spices. The yogurt sauce also needed tweaking, as other reviewers indicated; I used Greek yogurt and added a chopped shallot, as well as some remaining lime juice. I would add cucumber next time for a raita-esque situation, as others have suggested. Overall, a good concept but tweaking and additions needed.
