Hi Rob, when u mix your paste do you just use yoghurt? and that spicy pakora mix in the background, any good?

Hi BengaliBob,

Will be interested to hear how the Tikka paste compares with the Tikka Botti one.  Have only managed to get the botti one so far.

Hoping to find some 1 kg tubs of Laziza today, including the tikka paste.  Again very impressed.  Not as highly spiced/punchy as botti or tandoori, and it seems to contain the most garlic/ginger paste.  First impressions are this tikka paste would probably be fine for tikka in curries (including the mild ones).  I think for starter dishes the botti and tandoori pastes take some beating.  I made some botti lamb chops last night and they turned out 10/10, imo. 

Using yoghurt for all the marinades.  The cheap set stuff; here about 3 hpd tbsp for 750 g chicken breast.  Also additional garlic/ginger paste, mint sauce, KTC deep orange, sunflower/mustard oil. That's about it.  For lamb/pork also including the magical green cardo/mace GM.   Recommend tasting the marinade (before adding the mustard oil) and adjusting, heat/spice preference, to taste.  Here's a couple more pics of the tikka and a few others, for variety.

Generally go for a more scorched/grilled appearance








Smokin'.  Optional, but very effective.  Obviously take care when doing this





The one on the right is about to get finely chopped





Garlic naga egg fried rice





A biryani of sorts





Fish tikka.  Made with tikka marinade.  Oven grilled. Very quick and easy.





Mushroom pakora.  The ready-made powder was OK Gazman.  I think I've made better from scratch though.  No ajwain in the mix, and pakora batter needs a bit of ajwain. 





Chilli garlic aloo shashlik





Main dish.  Pyaz gosht (trad chicken on-the-bone)





I always clean the hob, every day, honest!
