Heading down to Birmingham on Friday for a few days so Mrs G can take in the craft show at the NEC. Also going to meet up with brother Garp, who lives in Solihull, for a curry.

Having seen some of the horrors that Gav recovered from some of the more touristy/trendy balti houses, we're going for the Rajasthan in Olton. Had a takeaway from there a couple of years ago and the Butter Chicken was possibly the best mild curry I've ever had (although I could feel my arteries clogging up with every spoonful).

Having a look at their menu I noticed they offered a lot of their dishes with duck tikka. Seemed a bit strange to me but has anyone ever tried it?

Never tried it but seen it on a few menus. Theres a few round here do it.

Thinking it might be a bit tough bud, like lamb tikka. Probably just end of with chicken tikka or lamb 

I'd thought about making some before and completely forgotten about it, completely by coincidence I'm home alone next weekend.... I feel a project coming on, might publish my first recipe.

Hurry up then and tell us what its like.
I suppose it would be the ideal thing to try at home first.

Hi Garp I have eaten a duck tikka starter in my local, it's a very nice dish. My description would be a duck breast marinated in tikka then pan fried, sliced and served pink in the centre.  A little indian garnish on the side with a slice of Lemmon and a little redwine reduction just to be flash.

Very nice, nicer than the dry tandoor chicken leg that followed

Good luck .

Thanks LC - will probably give it a miss

I would probably give it ago just so you can tick it off
Duck is a strong taste so i wouldn't be convinced
But yes go for it
Cheers Micky Tikka  ;D love it

I think duck is best left to the chinese, you can't beat crispy acrobatic duck

London.

That's what I was thinking Micky, but I had wood pigeon the other evening for the very reason you suggest.....and it wasn't great
