Topic: Dipuraja's Tandoori Chicken Marinade

[solarsplace]

im assuming this is the recipe that came out top in the taste test?. ( just wondering why so long since a comment on here, considering it came out top). Anyhow im getting all the stuff together to make this.

where the heck do i get pasco paste online?

perhaps you guys that did the taste test can point me in the right direction. Im on an island in the north of scotland so cant get to a asian supply shop.

Hi

Try contacting these guys to see if they can deliver to where you are?

Spices of India is a very good site indeed, unfortunately they don't stock the Pasco brand.

yeah russel. spiceofindia is where i generally buy my spices. They do charge me postage even though it says on the site free postage for ?30 plus orders, but up here we are used to paying large postal costs.

i checked them out before posting above as they dont stock the pasco brand as axe said. So im needing a few spices topped up anyhow so dont mind trying another supplier if it means getting the correct brand for the taste test winning tikka, i realy wouldnt like to try an alternative or substitute as this defeats the purpose.

so does anywhere sell this pasco stuff online?, im sure others like me on here are far away from a shop stocking this. Or do i have to wait till xmas till im off to england to get some?

im real itching to give this recipe a go. And anyhow ive allready made a big mix of the spice mix needed.

Pasco do give an e-mail address for sales : sales@pascospices.co.uk but the site doesn't mention retail, I am afraid.  Ocado list some of their products, as do Tesco.

Pasco is readily available in most of our Asian Supermmarkets here in Manchester, but I do think that the company comes from Wigan, just up the road so it may not have found it's way outside the north west yet?

Well, it's now been put in the fridge for it's 20 hour marinade, smelt really good when mixing it!  Only thing I may change is the food colouring, I mixed it by hand and my hands are now VERY red 

Next time I will either use less colouring or none at all, for my first time I wanted to make sure I followed every step to the letter.

Will report back tomorrow when I try it as a simple starter with salad and lemon (like in a BIR)

For ease to make this is still my favourite tikka recipe. Instead of cutting it into little cubes I cut each breast in half and marinaded them overnight. In the pic below, that is a full size dinner plate so you can see the pieces were pretty big.

For lunch today they got cooked on a very hot BBQ, then cut into slices when cool. Delicious!

I thought i'd give this a go since it came top of the tikka taste test.  Personally i'm a blade's convert.  I used it in Abdul's Dynamite Chicken.  The recipe produced nice succulent pieces of strong tasting tikka but i did find the use of all the pastes added a tartness which was not down to the yoghurt. The vinegar did come through the strong flavours.  I would use the recipe again but use more yoghurt to thin down the marinade and maybe scale down the paste quantities.  I want the meat to absorb the flavours and not have the taste obscured by tasting the marinade residue, of which there was plenty, stuck to the meat.  For me, Blade's still has the edge and is a cut above the rest, if you'll forgive the puns ;D

Hi All

Now i know this is an old thread that's not been used  for a while but the missus is really into tandoori mixed grill at the moment so i decided to make her one, myself i usually make blades recipe but decided for a change and as this came top of the taste test i gave it a try. After reading through the comments and watching dips vid i went for it only i made sure i used level tbsp of pastes and used some milk to thin out the marinade and of set any sharpness from all the paste's used and it came out very nice not as strong in flavour as blades but that could have been down to the use of milk to thin out the marinade think its worth a try if anyone is making tandoori.

cheers
