Topic: Chicken Tikka (from a restaraunt)

[j.col]

hi guys, just thought i would share my recipe for the above. (its on OCUK as well  )
this was given to me by the manager of my local Indian.

CHICKEN TIKKA/MEAT TIKKA/TANDOORI
serves 6 (or just half everything for 2-3 people)

1/2 tbsp haldi (turmeric)
1/2 tbsp chilli
1/2 tbsp curry
1/2 tbsp jeera (cumin)
1/2 tbsp dhania (coriander)
salt to taste
4 tbsp oil
6 garlic cloves crushed.
6 ginger cloves? crushed. (the same amount as the garlic, i just guess it, or use paste)
1/2 tbsp mint sauce
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
1/2 fresh lemon juice.
fresh coriander
1 tsp garam masalla
1 tsp tandoori mix powder
1 tsp methie powder (dried fenugreek)
yellow food colouring

mix together add chicken and marinade for at least
3 hrs, or better overnight

step 1
chicken and marinade


step 2
skewering


cooking i done it in the oven at 250.C for about 10-12 mins


its ready. i had no pitta's or nan's so i just used tortilla's, serve with salad and a nice chilli sauce

Thanks for sharing this j.col. they look tasty. How did your own Tikka compare with that or your takeaway?

[j.col]

its about 8/10 the same from the restaurant.
obviously i dont have a tandoor oven or expierence of cooking it dozens of times a day.
but i have tried a lot of recipes, and this is easily the best

Hi

Recipe looks really interesting!

A picture speaks a thousand words!

Is there any chance you could re-upload the images using perhaps the Curry Recipes Online image host: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=3884.0 as the previous ones seem to have violated some sort of agreement and been removed

Really keen to see what the recipe looks like 

Many thanks

1/2 fresh lemon juice? Does that mean half a lemon squeezed or is it half a tablespoon or teaspoon?

Hi j.col is the methi the powder or dried stuff  ;D or can you add both.

1/2 fresh lemon juice? Does that mean half a lemon squeezed or is it half a tablespoon or teaspoon?
