Topic: Chicken Tikka - better than the BIRs

[Dajoca]

Thanks for the clarifications.

Having made this a few times, but also having a sieve like memory, I've just realised I don't know if the Methi listed in Blades  Tikka recipe is referring to leaves or ground seeds.

Anyone clear this one up for me as the cr0 glossary just says Methi = Fenugreek.

Hi Dajoca,

It's Methi leaves.

[Dajoca]

Thankyou.

My first post and I just wanted to say thanks.

While it's not quite the same a CT I've tried it's exceptionally tasty (which I wasn't sure f as the marinade doesn't smell that good) and by far the best tikka recipe I've tried.

Off to experiment with a base sauce now and make a real BIR meal.

My first post. Made this recipe 3 times now -- its just awesome.
Its good with a corriander & mint yohgurt.

What a fantastic read of over 6 years worth of comments, and as for the pics, well they all look bloody delicious. Ive been trying to master chicken tikka for 20 years and I cant believe Im going back to using a jar of Pataks paste! Ive used everything else in the recipe except this one missing ingredient  : Guess what i'll be trying on the weekend?
Cheers

Will be putting this in the marinade tonight for 24 hours. Looking forward to trying it without the cake-like grainy yoghurt goo feel. Being a bugger trying to find the Pataks tandoori paste too. My wife, who is not a curry maker but just eats what I make even asked why I was buying a jar of Pataks! I said its an experiment, trust me  Will let you know I it goes.
Cheers

Hi Steve

You should find the Tandoori paste in Coles. Unfortunately they don't stock the tikka, or Kashmiri masala pastes.

[SteveAUS]

Yeah Mick, got it from Coles. Last jar too!
Cheers

Had this on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definately be making it again. (Maybe with half the qty of lemon). Got the old spinning chicken on the skewer happening so could only really grill one side. Havent had this before as I normally cook on the BBQ. It was no drama, I just put the nice grilled side up on the plate. Got the thumbs of from the wife. Unfortunately no pics as in her excitement to take a pic of what I had prepared she dropped and broke the bloody camera!
Cheers
Steve
