ANYHOW - what colour does everyone prefer tikka to be? i.e; red - pinkish - yellow - orange
I know there are variations around the country and the world - i would like to know which is preferred?

Hi

Agree with Chewytikka and Mick.

Although, have to add that if plain chicken tikka is deep red I personally find it quite appealing (obviously has to taste nice too! ).

Cheers

Following others' lead :

Chicken tikka : pink, yellow or orange, not red.
Tandoori chicken : carmine red.
Tandoori king prawn : no preference.
Other tandoori dishes : red.

Chicken Tikka - Orange to Red
Lamb Tikka - Red
Tandoori Chicken - Red

I have also made a Chicken Tikka using yoghurt and green herbs such as mint, coriander etc. and this of course was Green.
