Getting quite excited about this paste. Marinade consists of G/G paste, the botti paste, yoghurt, lemon juice squirt, mustard/sunflower oil, and a bit of grated nutmeg. That's it. No salt, additional food colouring, or anything else. Tasted spot on, for me.

Already thinking better than Blades, better than everything to be honest. Should add I'm not a fan of typical Bangladeshi BIR tikka. Find it incredibly bland as a starter. Pakistani tikka and tandoori cooking in general, however, I love. This is so close. Couple of tweaks including a tad more colour and it should be job done, to my satisfaction anyway.
Rob :)
I believe the botti bit actually relates to off the bone dark meat.

Hi Rob, where did you buy it from?

I get most my spices from here good price and free delivery if you spend over

Local Pakistani supermarket.

That looks a treat, Rob, and you have confirmed the taste is good. Might have to splash out on a jar :)
-
Good prices? Are you kidding... They're horrifically expensive compared to an Asian supermarket.

So far so good Garp. Stands up by itself for sure, but I'll need to put it though its paces; planning a chicken tikka botti shashlik, to see how the flavours balance out with plenty fresh garlic/chilli; sizzler. Fingers crossed.
Rob :)

Rob, that looks absolutely spectacular and just by looking at it I can tell it will taste heavenly! :o
-
I tried this yesterday after a 24 hour marinade. Very, very nice indeed.
A fair bit hotter than Blades tikka. I would cook this to slap on a naan with salad and mint sauce, and for my own curry dishes, but use blades for a CTM, as it would make a CTM too hot for most people IMHO.
Thanks for sharing Bob.
-
bought 2 jars today, chicken is out the freezer and will be marinading tonight when I get home
-
Ive just ordered a jar online and with a jar of the Tandoori paste SD recommended
I couldn't find them in any of the shops in Tooting apart from the boxes in powdered form
-
I paid the same as Rob - bought 2 jars - ?1.79 each - hoping its nice
-
Hi, on the bottle it says mix with yoghurt but doesn't say how much yoghurt to mix with, any ideas Rob?

There should be some info further up the label. 75 g per chicken :D. I used less for a 1 kg batch. Also had success since with lamb tikka. Added mint sauce and freshly ground and roasted green cardamom/mace. A touch of sweetness via maple syrup. Yum!
Rob :)
-
cheers rob, marinading now, will try tonight
-
Made 1KG of chicken using this marinade, very nice indeed and a good kick to it also - will be using this from now on for tikka in my curries
cheers Rob
-
Im still waiting for my jars to arrive
I also ordered their seekh kebab paste I thought it would be worth a try
-
Good stuff. Got a pic or two of the lamb tikka somewhere and will try to find them. Bought a jar of the Laziza tandoori paste the other day and have done a tester whirl. Tandoori pork chops. Pics to follow. Quality! Also made some tandoori chicken wings, but the pics of these are not great. Does give a nice smoky flavour though, after they're set on fire.
Rob :)
-
will need to try that also, I bought 2 jars of the tikka paste, should keep for a while I think
-
Just had chicken tikka botti and with lamb chops
Tandoori chicken and the tikka chichen
That's the three jars from laziza
All very nice indeed :)

Hi
I was in Manchester curry mile the other day and tried to get some Pasco Tandoori paste as recommended by Dip, alas no joy but I came across Laziza Tandoori and Laziza Tikka Boti pastes
-
Tandoori pork chop starter:

Absolutely top notch. No doubt about it (imo). Superb quality and immense depth of flavour.
Pataks is dead, long live Laziza!
Rob :)

Looks superb Rob.
On your recommendation, I managed to get my local Asian grocer to get hold of some Laziza tikka botti paste (still waiting for him to get the tandoori one). Had 500g of chicken drumsticks marinaded in the tikka botti paste and yoghurt for 2 days. Very good indeed... Better than any tikka I've had.
-
Have to agree with you there Bob :)
My only trouble is I keep running out of paste
And at the moment I can only buy them online
I wonder if they do catering size jars :-\
Another tasty picture Bob Your house must be a bit warmer this time of year ;) ;D
-
Lovely looking pork chop, Bob. Not keen on them normally but that looks amazing :)
BTW - Pataks was always dead :)
-
Defo Rob, cheers for the recommendation, its fantastic stuff, my choice going forward and no messing about, very simple
Cheers Again

That really looks the business Rob - as does all your photos you post.
As much as I dislike pastes, and after reading all the positive comments here, I would be pretty blinkered not to give it a go.
Regards

Thinking the tandoori paste (first recommended by Salvador btw) might just edge the botti. Not much in it though. Both are great. Agree with Mick in that probably won't suit everyone as on the spicy side for CTM, korma etc. But as a starter. Oh my goodness! Fantastic, and I like spicy. The green cardo/mace addition is also worth a go, particularly for lamb (and pork). I got this tip some time ago from a restaurant BIR chef, who uses it in lamb tikka and sheek kebab, giving spectacular results. However, as often is the case, it's been done before/elsewhere. Recently found a recipe for the combo in one of the Cinnamon Club books. Interesting as I had thought a 50:50 mix. Hmm. Half a nutmeg as well; nice. The recipe/method can be viewed here if anyone is interested:

Click on the "Look Inside" option. It's in the Basics section of the book. Mace and cardamom powder.
Rob :)
Laziza pastes are apparently available in 1 kg pots Michael. Not seen any as yet though.

Hi bob I also will be trying this it looks super lush !

How good does that Pork Chop look? mmmmm :P Unfortunately, for me, another supply disappointment. You guys over there are so spoilt for ingredients. I can get pork chops without a problem. Laziza Tikka Botti Paste, not so easy. Interesting that it's handled by Alamgeer.

Hi Livo I have exciting news for you, you can order the dry sachets from spice of India web sight... I remember CT posting a couple of years back that he preferred the sachets as even he had difficulty obtaining the paste. I would totally recommend ordering a few of these Masalas in you order, biryani is excellent and banging with traditional flavours. These sachets tend to be for The Indian pallets so they are on the slightly hotter side of things. However it is no problem to thin down with a little mix powder or yoghurt sour, mix powder. I hope you get to enjoy this flavours soon regards.
-
Ok. Thanks LC. I will certainly investigate. He with the biggest spice cupboard wins. ;D
-
Yes, a good powdered spice mix. I use this Tikka Boti quite often for Kebab. ;)
Another good brand is National, if its available in Oz.
I use it to spice up Sheep Keema in one of my Balti recipes, works well.

I've just found a place in Perth WA that stocks Laziza (hopefully). They are wholesalers / importers / commercial suppliers but they do have a retail room. Tikka Boti Paste only in 1.0 kg. Trying to see if it is worthwhile with postage or at least ask them if they have any Sydney distribution points
I have also found another place in Melbourne that does the Laziza powdered so it will probably be a more affordable option.
-
Hi Livo I don

Thanks. LC. I think the postage will kill it. This is a bit confusing considering I was able to have a book Air Mailed to me from UK in 10 days for AUS $7.50 or around
