Topic: Ginger and lime chicken tikka

[teantoast]

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place for this post but I am a beginner, that's putting it mildly ...

I'm looking for a recipe for a ginger and lime chicken tikka - they used to make it in a restaurant I worked in and it was just my favourite thing!

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi TnT. It's not one I know but for sure most restaurants like to keep their life simple, so it's highly likely they would be using the same chicken tikka preparation they use for all their other chicken tikka. So that's the first part cracked. Plenty of tikka recipes around here, there's a whole forum subsection (shout of you don't find it).

For the rest of the dish I would take a guess at some fine chopped ginger fried till a little sticky and a good squirt of lime juice, then serve the chicken tikka on a bed of lettuce, fried onion, the fried ginger and top with a sprinkle of caramelised onions.  Well that's just a guess - maybe you can describe how your local restaurant serves it and someone around here will probably have ideas on how to cook it. That's if they can spare a minute from arguing and accusing each other of being the big bad wolf. Good luk in the kitchen!

Use something like this as a starting point, use lime in the marinade and extra ginger. If you have any more info it'd be useful.

The lasan is worth a go.

It put me onto using lime for tikka which I use as STD.

Must admit I'm still not sold on Ginger in tikka. Appreciate all needs to be in balance.

If you get anywhere near the restaurant flavour then please do post - it's quite unusual from a uk viewpoint and must be worth a make.

Picture of such a dish here. Maybe the Scottish connection can assist.

Can you not just replace lemon with the lime?

I use Blades recipe http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,874.0.html

Use lime juice instead of lemon juice 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp ginger puree for the first part of recipe, marinade the chicken for around 30 minutes then follow recipe.
