tikka

Undoubtedly Tandoori chicken is the king of all tikkas in the tandoor repertoire. Amidst all the street food, kebabs, tikkas, biryanis and grilled meats I’ve scoffed down over the years in India and the UK; this dish is a firm fixture on every restaurant and street cart menu. There is an array of tandoori chicken dishes on offer and a few I have covered on the blog as well including Kali Mirch Murgh Tikka cooked with crushed black pepper and also my favorite recipe Kandhari Murgh Tikka cooked in pomegranate molasses and spices.

Easy to cook, healthy and always a crowd pleaser it’s perfect for this (dare I say sunny!) weather. Nothing better than brightening up a warm day with sunshine, tikkas on the bbq. The smells of the marinated chicken cooking with its moist juices is mouth wateringly good. Sprinkled with chaat masala served in flat bread with a dollop of freshly made mint chutney and some salad.
