Chewys Tikka Tuk Tuk

Thanks for another excellent vid Chewy.

It's on my "to do" list

Thanks Mick

Well worth giving a go

Re - The Red Masala Sauce
If you can't get Pataks Tandoori paste, just replace with any Tandoori Mix and a little Tamarind
or reserve some of  marinade you are using for the Tikka

Thanks for the tip mate.

Fortunately, we can get Pataks Tandoori paste down here, it's the "other two" which are not available.

I cooked it tonight, and it's in the fridge for tomorrow, along with a few more dishes. Public holiday here on Monday, so we're having a curry shindig tomoz with a few mates.

I made a version of this dish the other night and it was delicious - my good lady wife said so and she's always right!

I say "a version" because I had a quantity of the Zaal red masala sauce handy, so I used that instead of the recipe sauce.

Good tip about the Tandoori paste, CT - I see that Tesco aren't currently stocking Patak's tandoori paste but have Laila instead. I bought a jar but haven't used it yet, so no idea what it's like.

Slightly off-topic - I took a selection of spices and mixes with me on holiday recently including CA's tandoori mix powder because I knew I wouldn't get any where I was going and I wouldn't be able to take any paste with me on the plane. I just mixed the dry spices with a little vegetable oil and let it stand for a while before using it. Seemed to work OK and the grub was up to standard. Pity we couldn't replicate all the Patak's pastes in the kitchen, but I know that's been discussed elsewhere.

Back on-topic - I'll definitely make your Tuk Tuk again, CT, but to spec next time. Looking forward to it, in fact.

Just had a half term break in Perranporth Cornwall and looked at the local Indian Restaurant menu
and starters it said Chicken Tuk Tuk
Pieces of chicken mix with egg,  deep fried with bread crumbs.

Didn't sound very appealing

Chicken Tuk Tuk : pieces of chicken mix with egg,  deep fried with bread crumbs.  Didn't sound very appealing 

Are you sure the menu didn't read "Chicken McTuktuk" ?  Was there a strange, clown-like plastic figure standing just outside the doorway ?!

 ;D ;D
May try it next year for a report 
They are a mixed breed down there

They are a mixed breed down there 

You don't mean to tell me that the locals have started interbreeding with the emmets ?!  My, how standards have slipped since I last retraced Betjeman's hallowed footsteps ...

Hi Chewy, nice looking dish. I've been using your base gravy recently and I've had some excellent feedback. This recipe is next on my list.
Can you tell me if your curry pan is aluminium or stainless steel?, it looks very shiny  and where is the best place to get one?

Cheers

Garabi Army (love the Name) ;D

It's a cheap catering Ali Omlette/Curry pan, available in any Asian/Indian supermarket, don't pay more than a tenner.
You can buy online if you search Catering Supplies sites.

It's shiny because I always buff up my pans with a brillo pad. 

Glad your getting a result with my Garabi recipe Curry on.... ;D

Cheers Chewy
