Tandoori and Tikka / another tikka recipe

CHICKEN TIKKA/MEAT TIKKA/TANDOORI

serves 6 (around 4- 5 medium breasts cut into bite size pieces)

but this does round down just as good.
for 2-3 servings just half everything

1/2 tbsp or 1 1/2 teaspoons haldi (turmeric)
1/2 tbsp chilli
1/2 tbsp curry
1/2 tbsp jeera (ground cumin)
1/2 tbsp dhania (ground coriander)
salt to taste
4 tbsp oil
6 garlic cloves crushed.
same amount of ginger, (i use ginger & garlic paste or puree, thats about 4 tsps each, it sound a lot but it does make a difference)
2 tsp mint sauce (it sounds a lot, but it works,)  for 2-3 servings use 1 tsp)
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
1/2 fresh lemon juice.
1 tsp garam masalla
1 tsp tandoori mix powder
1 tsp methie powder
yellow food colouring

mix together add chicken and marinade for at least
5 hrs. but preferably over night

i thread them on skewers over a roasting tray ( use a tray you would use for roasting a chicken, my skewers are longer than the tray, so the chicken is suspended over the tray)
and heat in a hot oven around 200 c for about 10-15 mins depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
do not over cook as they dry out quickly.

right guys, as you can see i am new here, so please be gentle  ;)

hi guys, i have a recipe that was given to me from a manager at a local restaurant.
i was quite tipsy at the time and he did not tell me how to cook it, but with trial and error i have it down pretty near.

chicken jalfrezi.
makes 2 portions but i often double or treble the list to make more.
you dont need to add more chilles unless you want.
also for my kids, i dont add any chilles and leave out chilli powder.

edit. i find you get better flavour if you do a double batch and use heaped teaspoons

sauce
2 onions grated or blended in food processor with oil to make a paste
4-6 cloves garlic crushed
same amount of ginger
1 tsp haldi
1 tsp curry
1 tsp dhania (ground coriander)
1 tsp jeera (ground cumin)
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1/2 tsp dried methi (fenugreek)
1/2 tsp chilli or more to taste

1 green pepper
16 fresh green chillies split length ways.
1/4 tsp garam masalla

add 3-4 tablespoons oil to pan or wok and heat.
fry onion, medium heat for about 10 mins then add ginger & garlic. fry for about 2 more mins
add haldi,curry, dhania and jeera, chilli and methi
fry for a couple of mins and then add tomato paste, fry again for 1-2mins
add 1-2 mugs of water
and a good pinch of salt.
cook for about 10 to 15 mins, sauce will reduce and oil will seperate. (add some more water if needed) turn off and leave to one side (the above can be done well before)

in another frying pan or wok add 3 tablespoons oil and add chicken and cook for about 2 mins until white.
add chillies and peppers, and cook for a couple of mins, then add the above sauce to pan/wok and cook for 10 mins or until chicken is cooked.
the oil should seperate.
add good pinch of garam massalla and chopped fresh coriander and serve.

the only gripe i have with it, is inconsistent results.
some weeks it is nearly as good as the restaurant but some weeks its more bland.
having a quick look through this forum, i reckon it could be what heat i cook it on, so i will check that out

here is a pic (sorry its off a phone)
