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.

The psychology of food colour is interesting isn't it? Do you remember Heinz launching blue and green versions of their ketchup in 2000? I could never bring myself to eat the green version even though the taste was identical to red. They can't have been all that successful as they were discontinued in 2006.

I also had a green tandoori-style chicken dish in a Nepalese/Ghurka restaurant in Fleet, and I am afraid it did nothing for me.

Red doesn't really bother me as long as it tastes great

It's odd what a (psychological) difference colour can make. I once had a takeaway curry from Ababil, at Crossways (New Eltham), and was convinced that they had used chicken cooked in the tandoor -- it just didn't taste right. So I challenged the owner (in a friendly way) on my next visit, and he laughed : "No Sir", he said", "not cooked in the tandoor ... but the chef had dropped a tin of red food colouring and it had gone everywhere !". So the more gullible amongst us are certainly capable of being subconsciously affected by colour, even if the more rational are not ...

My tandoori chicken needs to be carmine red as do my sheek kebabs.
I do change the colour of the tikka if i am serving the above just to appeal to the dinner's pyschi ::)
