Chicken Chaat - Scottish Sunday Mail
this is an extract from Jiggy Majhus book..serialised in the Sunday Mail
She is part owner of Ashoka Group

I cooked this tonight (for the first time) and found it at least as good..if not better...than my local T/A

INGREDIENTS
300g chicken wings
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 red chilli powder
0.5 tsp tandoori paste
1 tsp g/g paste
1.5 tbsp plain yoghurt
2 tbsp veg oil
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp turmeric powder
0.25 tsp garam masala

METHOD
Place all ingredients (apart from chicken) in a bowl and mix well
Add chicken and rub ingredients well into the meat
Leave to marinade for at least 4 hours

COOKING
Preheated oven at 200 degrees for approx 20 mins or until cooked. turning halfway through cooking.

The recipe above is for cooking 300g chicken
I cooked 900g and simply increased ingredients X 3
I added approx 1 tsp methi, a pinch of cumin seed and a pinch of fresh coriander
I cooked "Blade style" i.e. chicken was skewered and placed over a baking tray (suspended)
Then "flamed" over my hob to give nice charcoaled taste

Simple ingredients which we all have easily to hand
Great taste
Hope you try....and enjoy

Surely this is tandoori chicken wings not chicken chaat? There's not a chaat spice to be seen in that recipe.

I think they've messed up the headings then.

chicken chaat and tandoori chicken are both similar in most parts of Glasgow

you can call it cjjjaj or even qyahnmmdkd but at the end of the day still tastes mighty fine IMO

I mentioned something similar in a previous thread about Chicken Chaat. Chicken Chaat it may not be, but that's what the local TAs call it.

Is nothing sacred?  ;D

Clearly not.  In my book, Chicken Chat is to Tandoori Chicken as Paella is to Risotto -- one ingredient in common, and that is the end of it.
