Hi Gazman,

Does it have to be frozen chicken tikka, or will fresh be ok?  What I mean is, if I use fresh tikka, will it overcook before the batter is done?

Hi Gazman

Couple of questions I hope you don't mind.

I assume that the FF Chicken Tikka is already pre-cooked before being frozen, do you thaw it first before use? Also, when you tried the plain chicken breast, was this also pre-cooked before being used?

Personally, I think I would opt for plain chicken as freshly cooked tikka would get eaten as is. But if you have it frozen i the bag already I can see why you tried it. Have you tied this batter with vegetables? I have some left over cauliflower in the fridge, I might have to try this tonight.

Hi axe the recipe was actually for veg pakora but i never had any veg hence why i used chicken , the ff tikka i think is precooked and frozen . i never defrosted it, temp was 170 and in it went , after 5 mins taken out , left to sit for a min then back in at 190 for 45 seconds , really nice , i was surpised by it - i tried normal chicken breast also but wasnt as nice , that why i would mix up chicken in tikka marinade and do it that way , u can let me know how you get on

Hi Gazman

just tried this and it was great. 

I used some of my own chicken tikka https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5829.0

Next time tho I will probably increase the salt to 1 tsp, but all in all it was very nice

Cheers
