Hi Terry
         am I right in thinking that this is a tidied up version, of the other tikka recipe you posted?
If it is, one has Kashmiri Masala and the other doesn't, so does that need altering?
Anyhow, thanks for posting this
That's a lot of garlic
I will give this a try on my next "tikka" run
How much chicken is this for?

I am keen to hear the chicken chaat recipe too
I saw that made once
They used some packeted chaat masala

Yes please, I would like a BIR chicken chat recipe if you can post one

Although I didn't try ifindforu's tikka recipe, I did take note of the use of Patak's Tikka. While I'm sold on Blade1212's tikka - it is my regular - I made some today using Patak's Tikka instead of Tandoori paste. I felt OK to try this, as it lists tamarind on the ingredients, which Blade1212 felt was key in his. The result was in my opinion better than the standard Blade recipe. Terry is right that Tandoori chicken in the BIRs has a different taste from the Tikka Chicken.

I'm weary of going back to Yogurt as an ingredient in my tikka. Blade's was definitely better without it, BIR or not. The Tikka paste though I felt was an improvement.

I have a good formula for BIR Chicken Chat that I will post soon. Note that a key ingredient in chat masala (unless you buy prepackaged  ) is Black Salt. You will need that to hand.

In fact my favourite local BIR used to sprinkle each dish with both coriander and a pinch of chat masala. I've started doing it myself.

Hi Josh
       I bought some black salt a while ago
I have never used anything like it before
It has a very strong smell

try adding a cup of water to the yogurt as this thins it and gets it deeper into the chicken or lamb TERRY
