Topic: Chicken Tikka Lao Video Recipe

[chewytikka]

Hi All
A new realtime video recipe for you.(11.22)
If you like Butternut Squash or any type of Squash/Pumpkin (Lao) you'll love this preparation.
I've developed this new dish and cooked it with Lamb, Beef and even Duck Breast, they were all delicious.
It might not be a recipe for beginners, but should be a breeze for experienced members.
Just use your favourite base, tikka , mixed powder recipes etc...
Cheers Chewy

Hey Chewy,

Another awesome video to add to your collection, legend ;D

Just one thing, at the beginning, did you add about a tsp of cumin seed?  Just that it doesn't appear on your ingredients list?

Hi Ray

Well spotted, missed off the list, ooops, 1tsp cumin seeds, 1tbs chopped coriander and a pinch of salt.
And that's my brand new pan. ;D

I was going to say is this your new pan's debut. 

Anyway, nice video. Must admit I've never had butternut squash in a curry before, but that does look lovely. Nice one.

Hi Chewy, What is that new pan made from please? It looks like aluminium to me?

"I name this pan, Chewytikka II". Nice to see her on her maiden voyage.

How long did you pre-cook the Butternut Squash for? I have used sweet potato and that works well too. You just have to be careful you don't over cook it. I'll give this recipe a go though, thanks Chewy.

Hi Ramirez
Butternut Squash keeps its flavour, no matter how spicy you make it
and just seems to compliment any meat, give it a go

Hi Malc
I guess between 5-8 minutes, I just test them with a knife after 5 min.Basically you want them still very firm in the centre or probably two thirds cooked.
Here's a pic of the restaurant version with Duck. Much bigger chunks and a dry Bhuna sauce.

Thanks Chewy, i've not used squash much in anything. It's sounds very similar to sweet potato. Does it break down like sweet potato does, if cooked too long?

That dish looks delicious. I spy red onion too!

Hi Malc
No, it stays firm mainly, a different texture to sweet potato, but I guess it will eventually go mushy if you overcook it
