Topic: Chicken Tikka - better than the BIRs

[Mikka1]

I sure it will be fine but please pull me up on spelling yeah  :

Hi Mikka,

Thanks for the info.  I'm still not clear as to what I'm to use in this recipe though but I have been using Methi leaf up until now.  I've got a batch on the go, marinating in the fridge as we speak, whereby I have used powder.  So I guess, I'll know soon enough eh? lol

Mikka,

Seens are much warmer

Hahah, Yeah, I clocked it but I'm far too polite to pick you up on it.

For me, "methi" means methi leaf (kasoori methi). Perhaps made a little finer by rubbing between the fingers.

I have only ever seen methi seeds or ground methi in traditional Indian recipes.

Made this and cooked it on the BBQ Saturday as always spot on but even better on the BBQ.

Josh,

Methi Seeds are one of the spices in Panch Phuran of which I know the IG use alot of for pre-cooked meats and veg.

Ok, Guys,

I forgot to report back on this.  I did use methi powder in place of dried leaf and instead of Pataks Tandoori paste, I used Pataks Tikka Paste (still contains the required Tamarind)

It was just as good as it usually is, so the powder didn't make much, if any, difference.

Thanks Ray, i'm likely going to try this with the powder as I really do like the flavour it imparts.

hi Razor i use 1 tsp dried methi leaves and 1 tsp dried methi powder and use 3 Tbsp of yoghurt instead of the water.

I'm with Unclefrank on this one except for the yoghurt, I still use water.
 Its my favourite tikka marinade to date

We cooked this on the BBQ last night and it was delicious.  Also tikka'd some Paneer.  I did use yoghurt as well.

Hi

I hate it when people post beautiful pictures of Tikka first thing in the morning, makes me crave it all day!

Good work - Yum.
