This dish is base on the recipe posted by Unclebuck, so first of all credit to you UB. I have adapted it to suit the Taz base with which I

Hi Stephen which Bruce Edwards spice mix are you using, i have 4 different versions.
Very nice looking curry there, this is a must try for me, i have to say i like the charred bits on your Chicken Tikka.

Thanks to UB for the original and SL for the Taz version  update and refinements.  That looks a real tasty dish although i'd have to cook those peppers a little bit longer for my taste   Haven't got any of Taz's base at the mo but i will try it to spec with Abdul's base and spice mix.  This dish could very well be the starting point for my next project -  South Indian Garlic Chicken once i've completed my North Indian Specail  ;D

ELW - I pre-heated the grill on nearly maximum setting then laid the tikka on foil and grilled both sides

the charred bits make all the difference, do you remove most of the marinade before grilling? I normally skewer  the pieces between two skewers & cook them suspended in the oven, so don't get the charred bits which isnt quite right

No I don't remove any marinade, I dry off the chicken in kitchen towel before placing in the marinade and I find it sticks to the chicken quite well. I then lay the chicken on foil until charred one side then turn over with tongs and do the other side. You have to be quite watchful because if you overdo it you end up with dry charred chicken which isn't very tasty.

Hi CH
I have a freezer-load of Abdul's base just waiting for a new project, so I'll be really interested in your findings....unless I do it first, of course!!
