can you reccomend (having frozen the tikka at an earlier date) the best way to prepare them for the table ie defrost then microwave or
ovenheat?

After having made this again and feeling much happier with the results, I've realised that there are two very important points. Firstly, as the recipes says, use big pieces of chicken, 2 or three pieces per breast. Secondly make sure that the chicken is completely dry on the outside once cooked. I made this mistake before and the moist colouring got into my Madras sauce and really ruined things.

Another thumbs up from me, made this the other weekend and it really was superb!

I cooked it under the grill ate a few pieces and added the rest to my Madras, delicious!

Sorry this reply is a bit late for your dinner party! 

I would defrost and microwave them.  They will remain succulent then.  They might become a bit dry in an oven.

Hi all,

This is the first recipe that I have tried on this site. I have got to say, that it was truly amazing.  I love lamb tikka, especially from my local kebab house but, every time I have had a go at making it, I have always used yogurt. To be honest, I hate the stuff, and have never really achieved the desired results.  When I noticed that this contained none of the dreaded stuff, I just had to make it.

It was by far the best that I have ever tasted, so much so, that I raced round to my local kebab house to let them taste a sample. Unfortunately, all but one of the staff, are vegetarians . Luckily for me, the one that tasted it was one of the chef's ;D. He liked it so much, that he has asked ME for the recipe.

Not quite sure what the protocol is, on passing on recipes from off this site, as it's usually me pestering them, for their recipe's . If nobody objects, I will pass the recipe on in return for some of their recipe's to re-post back on here for all to share.

What a great site this is by the way. Who ever got this site going should be so proud of themselves as should all the contributing members.

Thanks once again,
Ray
