Chicken Tikka
Chicken tikka is a cornerstone of Indian restaurant menus worldwide, its smoky char traditionally achieved in a blisteringly hot tandoor oven.
Tender chunks of chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, then grilled until lightly charred — a beloved Indian appetiser bursting with smoky, tangy flavour.
Ingredients
Method
Mix yoghurt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, paprika and lemon juice into a marinade.
Coat the chicken thoroughly and marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Thread onto skewers and grill over high heat, turning regularly, for 12-15 minutes until charred and cooked through.
Serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
A longer marinating time allows the yoghurt to properly tenderise the chicken, not just flavour the surface.
