This is the third time I have made this but I made a mixed kebab,  I used the same marinade for lamb tikka and chicken tikka, bbq'd it and it was absolutely superb ;D.  I go to Oz on hols next week, wait till I show them my(cough cough) tikkas.
ps also did some prawns too, delicious but the lamb was to die for.

thanks for the recipe

I've made this lots of times and have used Pataks Tikka paste instead of Tandoori paste and the Tikka is superb. I then go on to use this in my Chicken Tikka Masala, and have even made a Chicken Tikka Bhuna which I posted on here some time ago.

However, yesterday I decided to make Lamb Tikka, so replaced the chicken with lamb leg steaks cut into chunks, which have been festering in the fridge since yesterday morning. I just cooked 2 pieces and it tasted fab, but I thought there was something still missing. So I have just added a heaped tablespoon of Pataks Tandoori paste to the mixture too. I'm gonna leave it in the fridge for another 24 hours and cook some tomorrow.

I'll let you all know how it came out. I took some pictures of it in the marinade and will post them along with the final product tomorrow!

Ok,

So the lamb tikka has been festering in the fridge for 48 hours now, and I just cooked one piece to see how it turned out and it's better than any lamb tikka i have tasted in a restaurant.

Later on I'll cook the rest and post the recipe on here along with some pictures. ;D

This has been on my menu for the last few weekends now!

Absolutely gorgeous flavour.

However....

I've tried it with

a. Pataks Tandoori paste

b. Pataks Tikka paste

c. Pataks Balti paste


The balti paste was the absolute hands-down winner for taste and flavour.

Just my two penny worth.

Interesting not tryed balti paste, will have to give that ago, thanks UB

Like most people been using this recipe for a bit now, but i add:-

1 tsp caster sugar
1.5 tbsp pataks tandoori curry paste
1 cup of plain yoghurt.

I also use some of the marinade to cook spring onions
1 tbsp of used marinade
1 tsp veg oil
1 or two spring onions
pinch of fresh chopped coriander
 
METHOD
Make sure the oil is hot add spring onions fry until they are just about going brown
then add the used marinade cook for about 2 mins stirring
when cooked add coriander stir again for a few seconds,then place on top of plain boiled rice.

Hi,

I made this recipe for some chicken tandoori thigh pieces and it was very good.

Thanks for the recipe, Blade, I will certainly try again and maybe experiment with Pataks Tikka or Balti pastes instead of the Tandoori but it was very good as it was.
