How does the chicken acquire that pink/red colour, Stephen ?  The recipe calls for pre-cooked chicken, but mine has never ended up that colour.

Hmmm.  Not where I was looking, but it is indeed there. Which I suppose does beg the question "Does Chicken Shakuti contain pre-cooked chicken, or chicken tikka, or does that depend solely on the chef ?".  Aso unclear whether "Golden Base" is another name for "Taz Base", or whether Taz Base mutates into Golden Base when incorporated in this dish.

Yes Phil you can use chicken, chicken tikka, or substitute with lamb etc as per your taste buds.

The recipe calls for Taz base - golden base is a typo which I've corrected and is my own base which I'm experimenting with. Thanks for noting the error Phil as it had eluded me.

A visually stunning dish, Stephen! The colours are just so vibrant, the food almost demands to be devoured!

The Taz base is one I've yet to try - it seems to come in to its own for a particular style of dish. So many variations and only one lifetime to try them out! :)

Also, your "Golden" base sounds very intriguing. Good luck with your experimentation - I hope it all comes together successfully.
