This time with bone-in chicken thighs.  Delicious, although I think I had better results with chicken breast pieces and tenderloins.  Maybe because the pieces were less chunky.


Still great for a Sunday afternoon snack out in the sunshine with a cool glass of white.

I haven't tried chicken tikka with anything other than breast, Robbo, but I am now using (a variant of) Syed's chicken tikka recipe all the time, and the results I am getting are far better than the tikka I received in an award-winning BIR restaurant in Newquay only a couple of days ago.  Basically I follow Syed's methodology and recipe but substitute a mixture of Laziza tandoori masala and Laziza takka botti for the Patak's paste(s) that he uses in his video, and cook my tikka pieces (the larger the better) on 8mm square-section skewers in my Tepro steak grill with the heat set at tickover.

P.S. (added after mixing the left-over pulao rice from the same restaurant with my own left-over Syed's pulao rice as part of dinner this evening)

Tikka with or without the yogurt?

Tikka always marinated with the yoghurt, and the 2 pastes and mint sauce, per Syed
