Duck Tikka
« on: March 17, 2015, 04:18 PM »
Heading down to Birmingham on Friday for a few days so Mrs G can take in the craft show at the NEC. Also going to meet up with brother Garp, who lives in Solihull, for a curry.

Having seen some of the horrors that Gav recovered from some of the more touristy/trendy balti houses, we're going for the Rajasthan in Olton. Had a takeaway from there a couple of years ago and the Butter Chicken was possibly the best mild curry I've ever had (although I could feel my arteries clogging up with every spoonful).

Having a look at their menu I noticed they offered a lot of their dishes with duck tikka. Seemed a bit strange to me but has anyone ever tried it?

Thinking it might be a bit tough bud, like lamb tikka. Probably just end of with chicken tikka or lamb  :)

I'd thought about making some before and completely forgotten about it, completely by coincidence I'm home alone next weekend.... I feel a project coming on, might publish my first recipe.

I suppose it would be the ideal thing to try at home first.

Hi Garp I have eaten a duck tikka starter in my local, it's a very nice dish. My description would be a duck breast marinated in tikka then pan fried, sliced and served pink in the centre.  A little indian garnish on the side with a slice of Lemmon and a little redwine reduction just to be flash.

Very nice, nicer than the dry tandoor chicken leg that followed :o

Good luck .

I think duck is best left to the chinese, you can't beat crispy acrobatic duck :)
