Blades Tikka
« on: January 05, 2011, 05:58 PM »
So, the other night I done chicken tikka and was fairly happy with the result :P  Then started to look and around the forum and came across Blades recipe.  After other peoples comments and blades statement that its better than his local BIR I just had to have a go at making this ;D  I did however leave out the food colour.

All done and now in the fridge for me to cook tomorrow.

Will let you know tomorrow how its turned out.

Looking good so far.

I made these NYE without the food colouring and they were amazing. Well worth it.

Did you get a chance to check out this thread? We group tested these a few months ago and the results were quite interesting.

Hi all,

I have just cooked this batch of chicken and I really don't know what to say............this is bar far the best BIR recipe that I have ever made.  I have had lots from friends and family over the years and this really is the 'real deal'.  Tonight I had Chicken Tikka, Pilau rice and Brinjal Bahji a recipe that I found on the net and modified a little (was very nice)

Pics below as usual and I really cant say how much this tikka was like what I have been looking to create for some time.  Anyone who is thinking of doing this must, without any hesitation.......


PS can I freeze this once cooked??????

Hi Luke,

I always make Blades Tikka and it's wonderful. It doesn't freeze that well, it tends to dry it out quite a bit. If you can stick iy in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It'll keep for around 4 days, which I am sure it won't last that long if it's in the fridge!! ;)

I am currently making Lamb Tikka using Blades recipe with a slight change. I will be making Garlic Chilli Lamb tonight, so I'll post the whole lot on here later in a new post. But it's smelling lovely right now :)
