chicken tikka - restaurant style
« on: October 11, 2006, 07:10 PM »
hi,

please can someone tell me how to cook the chicken tikka restaurant style.

I have noted from previous experience from working as a delivery driver for an indian restaurant that it is done in two stages.  The first stage is to cook the marinated chicken in the tandoor (which doesnt taste too good) and then fry it in a wok style pan with onions and lemon juice and some other kind of magic red liquid (i think it is watered down gravy sauce).

thanks

thankyou all for your replies....  i have a large bowl of chicken tikka marinating in the fridge at the moment (blade recipe link as supplied by darthphall).  Smells Fantastic, hope it tastes the same!
When i worked at the indian restaurant there chicken tikka fresh from the tandoor was very bland and didnt really have that soaked in colour through the chicken.  It wasnt until it had been stored for a couple of days then fried in the wok with onions and lemon juice and a spoonful of red sauce that it tasted anything like what you would expect.  I order from these guys regular and never have i had the boring chicken tikka like it has just come from a tandoor.  It has always been through the second stage like Laynes chickent tikka.

I have also attempted the mint dip and it tastes great.

Will let you know how i get on with the tikka.

If i manage to get this right i will try the madres sauce to go with it.

regards to everyone

It is usually done in two stages, as is Tandoori chicken (which is Tikka anyway).  The second stage would normally be done in the Tandoor also, but BIRs for spped will pan fy it.  I migh publish my BIR Tikka and Tandoori Chicken recipes one day!

Hi Cantgetitright
AS I've stated in a earlier thread I have tried cooking Tikka for many years without success of obtaining "The Taste" But My recipe which is here https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1199.0 is without doubt the best I have tasted it HAS got "The Taste" so my quest for replicating this dish is complete Job Done.
While we are on the subject CK could you Please tell me why hasn't this recipe been placed in the appropriate thread for authentic recipes ?

Hi Layne,

You have posted your recipe in the pictures group which I have no moderator rights on.  If you want post a new thread in BIR recipes with a link to the picture thread and I will add it to the index  ;)
