Title: Tandoori chicken tikka
Post by: esselle on December 01, 2011, 04:31 PM

Am I correct in thinking this is now the number one uk dish? If not what is?

Every region of the uk probably has a different variation of dishes- mines will always b the madras

Hi esselle, are you thinking of chicken tikka massala!, I'm a jalfrezi man myself :P

Is it chicken tikka masala? I'm a jalfrezi fan myself too.

I've lost the plot here. What is Tandoori Chicken Tikka? They are both separate products. Surely it's what you do with either Tandoori Chicken or Chicken Tikka then create a curry from either?  :-\

Ok let me make it easier for you. The uk's favourite dish is apparently a curry - which one? Just for the record my local curry house has tandoori chicken tikka on its menu - as do many others I've visited

Wow, why such hostility? Never heard of that dish where I am, it's on none of the local menu's here in Berkshire.....

Is it time of the month?  ;)

Tandoori chicken tikka just refers to the fact that the chicken tikka was cooked in a tadoor, like tandoori food.
I don't believe it is the name of a typical BIR menu item. Tandoori chicken yes, chicken tikka yes.

Esselle, let me make it easier for you, why don't you just google for "UK's favourite curry"  ;)

In Glasgow, the no. 1 curry is apparently the Chicken Chasni!

No hostility - just asked a simple question which was met with a silly response. If you dont want to answer fine but why answer with childish remarks such as 'time of the month'. Friendly forum this is ? ? ?
