Title: Chicken Tikka
Post by: hidden on April 18, 2008, 03:53 AM

Ok I love the flavour of a nice spicy chicken tikka but lately I found something is missing. So have any of you got suggestions on any other ingredients I could add to spice it up a little and give a more flavorful taste?

i find CA's tikka spot on (not tried blades yet)

i find it essential to use a bought tandoori masala to get a top notch result. i use the leena brand and expect the rajah to be just as good.

nb

1) i add 2tsp of fresh ginger to CA's recipe and use dried mint (for convenience). i've also started adding 1 tsp of tamarind (it's not needed but i think i like it's addition)
2) i cook it on a gas bbq which i'm convinced gives it a much better taste than in the oven.
