hi guys, just thought i would share my recipe for the above.

CHICKEN TIKKA/MEAT TIKKA/TANDOORI
serves 6 (or just half everything for 2-3 people)

1/2 tbsp haldi (turmeric)
1/2 tbsp chilli (use less if preffered)
1/2 tbsp curry
1/2 tbsp jeera (cumin)
1/2 tbsp dhania (coriander)
salt to taste
4 tbsp oil
6 garlic cloves crushed.
6 ginger cloves? crushed. (the same amount as the garlic, i just guess it, or use paste)
1/2 tbsp mint sauce (the secret ingrediant

)
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
1/2 fresh lemon juice.
fresh coriander
1 tsp garam masalla
1 tsp tandoori mix powder
1 tsp methie powder (dried fenugreek)
yellow food colouring (optional)

mix together add chicken and marinade for at least
3 hrs, or better overnight

step 1
chicken and marinade

step 2
skewering

cooking i done it in the oven at 250.C for about 10-12 mins

its ready

i had no pitta's or nan's so i just used tortilla's, serve with salad and a nice chilli sauce

Dokinator · 22 Apr 2011 at 12:11

Vanquished007 · 22 Apr 2011 at 13:39

Yeah, looks really good mate.

Looks tasty, might have a go. How much ginger is there in it though? 6 "cloves" of ginger makes no sense to me!

Craig1981 · 22 Apr 2011 at 15:06

That looks very tasty! Share please

Had me stuck on 1 tsp methie powder until wiki told me it was dried Fenugreek. Does look really nice.

Some how missed this thread and all the pics are now missing.

I'll have to give this a go. At the moment I'm using a Keith Floyd receipe. He uses not one but two marinades.

The first one is for about 20 minutes and is just chili powder and lemon uice or vinegar. His second is just yoghurt, garlic, ginger and cumin (I always add a bit of turmeric, partly just for the colour).

I never know if I should just keep it simple, or try adding more spices.

I missed the thread as well. Looks great and I'll be trying it

Where does your recipe originate from out of interest?

psd99 · 7 May 2011 at 17:23

sounds good but I tried this many a time never seems to taste as good as it does in the shops

A tandoori oven would be better

can you please explain step 2 a little bit more?

they taste better on a BBQ, than in an oven, i cut them quite small and they take about 5 mins on a BBQ
step 2 skewering?
soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 mins (or use metal ones)
then just skewer them. sometimes i will use chopped green peppers and/or a small onion halved

Jonny69 · 8 May 2011 at 16:30

I'm in the kitchen preparing this for later. That's some pretty damn tasty marinade and the girl thinks so too :cool:

Edit: just made up a jar of the spice mix ready for instant w1n when I need it.

Glaucus · 8 May 2011 at 16:34

yay pictures are back, that looks great and the kebab style of eating them is win. Will be trying this, this week.
I'm taking it marinade should be over night?
