Had this gaian last night and also tikka'd some prawns and white fish. I think this is now my favourite tikka by a whisker, nice and aniseedy and with some heat!!

Nice one Mick

Well i experimented a bit this weekend and made this tikka recipe and it ROCKS!!!I love Blades recipe but this is equally as good but different due to the star anise or fennel ( i uesd 1/2 and 1/2 as i like both) and the extra tandoori powder. The question was what to have with it? I had made CBM's Bhuna sauce the other day for the first time with the view of putting some prawns in late for the Mrs, she wasn't bothered though so i basically used it as the vegetable curry element of a biryani and made some of Chewy Tikka's rice (using shaan biryani powder - quite spicy) here with some of my frozen CA's luxury pilau, Chewy's link below: The result was a lovely curry and i was so glad i that i have tried some new recipes!! Thanks CBM, CT and Mickdabass!!!

The show that was on tonight was interesting as it showed a high profile restaurant, mumtaz, and he cooks a meal Karai  Chicken, in 7 minutes but without a base. He adds most of the ingredients, chicken, g and g, powder etc to a cold pan with no oil! He basically boils it and then adds the oil at the end and the reduces it. Comments guys?

Just a reminder that this new series starts tonight at 9pm on Sky 247, should be worth a watch!!
