I cook my Tikka on skewers but rested over a a small roasting tin lined with sliced onion. Then I pop this in a hot oven (250c) for 15mins or so. I end up with really juicy chicken, singed at the edges and a tray of tabacco onions. yum

Sounds like heaven! great tip

If you give the method a go, keep an eye on the onions. There is very fine line between nearly cooked to overdone.

The Tandoor looks very interesting indeed, has anyone got a copy of this already that can recommend it?

I've got the book
It's the only tandoor book about
As I have a tandoor, I had to buy it
It's a quality book and intersting to read
There are plenty of pictures too
The recipes are not BIR
In fact I'm not sure what they are
They have ingredients like papaya juice
I love the book but never cooked a recipe from it
Ask the library to get it in for you
It's not intended for a uk reader
There is definitely a gap in the market here

Hi Haldi
Papaya juice, sounds great, right up my street!

"Not BIR"  Is just what I want!
Nothing wrong with Pataks flavours, it's a taste I've
become accustomed to over the years.

I'm just looking for something new and better
I've ordered the book from whsmiths, all excited...
Chewytikka

you keep us posted mind :-) I was thinking of buying it myself.

Thanks Haldi, hopefully Chewy will be able to report back on the book in due course.

Authentic Balti Curry cookbook isbn No 141205592-x is now in the post.

Thanks to all who suggested it.

That will explain why the book is reaching insane prices then! Disappointing to say the least.

Why do they advertise a book they don't have and can not get?
