Hi Williammealyea, Following your request for Chicken Tikka Chasni I hope this recipe is to tour liking, Firstly look up Layne's recipe for chicken tikka { I use this one all the time }, then carry on using the following.

 A creamy chicken dish cooked in highly aromatic freshly ground dry-roasted spices and honey..... This particular recipe is almost completely fat free. Knock yourself out.

Ingredients
1 tsp Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Mustard Seeds (black)
1 tsp Paprika Powder
1 tsp Minced Ginger
1/2 can (200gm) Chopped Plum Tomatoes
1/2 tsp Onion Seeds
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
2 tsp Minced Garlic
2 tsp Tamarind Concentrate
900gm (2lb) Boneless Chicken (cubed)
3 tbsp Clear Honey
1 cup (200ml) Water
1/2 cup (100ml) Natural yoghurt
1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
A handful of Fresh Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
Salt to taste (optional)

Method
1. Heat a dry frying pan until very hot. Dry roast the whole spices on a high heat for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, grind and reserve.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Stir fry the onions until they begin to soften. Add the minced ginger and garlic and stir fry until golden brown. Add the chopped tomatoes and freshly ground spices and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.

3. Mix in the honey, tamarind, salt, water and chicken. Stir in well. Bring to boil and simmer until the chicken is cooked. Add the yoghurt and fresh coriander leaves mixing well. Cook for another minute and serve.
Hope you enjoy, Paul

I just found this link to Ashoka's menu for Chasni...
Click on "A Taster"
Each time you refresh using F5 (that's the function key 5) you get a different
recipe.
You may need to use F5 a few times to get Chasni.
