Topic: Chicken Tikka - better than the BIRs

[Invisible Mike]

I love this tikka, delicious, as a starter or stand alone dish, but I feel it overpowers when added to a curry.

I have also found this! The key is to cook it at the same time as your curry. And drop it in at the last minute so the tikka marinade doesn't leach into your curry sauce and ruin the flavour.

Or use one of the weaker ones such as CA's

To be honest, I have never found a tikka that doesn't, which is why I find it so odd that almost invariably the so-called "chef's specials" or "house specials" all use chicken tikka rather than fresh (=pre-cooked but not tikka'd) chicken ...

you could try mine

My marinade is made runny to reduce the claggyness which in turn limits the amount flavour leaching

Which I can vouch for and is my now go-to tikka marinade for use in a curry rather than as a standalone tikka portion

Thanks Garp

I'm finding it almost impossible to get the Patak's Tandoori paste these days. All the shops seem to stock the Tandoori spice marinade and it's just not the same. Anyone else finding this?

[Curry addict bob]

I'm trying out blades recipe for the first time! My local supplier only stocks the pataks spice version it states on the ingredients that it contains 8% tamarind I'm cooking this tomorrow will post my opinion when I've tasted it

My verdict! nice and tangy and its above average on taste
However I can't honestly say it better than all BIR restaurants I favour
Will make it again though because I enjoyed it.

Hi, We fancied a change today so have switched to Blad's chicken tikka. For new forum Members this is a longstanding recipie and well worth reviving the thread and posting your results.
Enjoy.

Little chilli try adding 2 top mint sauce and keep the recipe the same, it will surprise you with the taste.
