hi mate, what was it like?

It was really good. I cooked it on the griddle so it got the char-grilled restaurant taste. I used dried garlic and ginger so they could go in the dried spice mix too. Just need to add yoghurt and lemon to go :)

This looks good but what do you reckon to using turmeric instead of yellow food colouring? Nice flavour and also acts as a yellow dye. Nom nom.

Yeah, leave out the dye. I once had a restaurant tikka without any dyes or anything and it looked so much more natural and appetising. Only problem is those tins of tandoori mix tend to have the red colouring in them, but it's pretty similar to curry powder.

glad you liked it :) and dont forget the oil and mint
if you ever get the chance, do try it with fresh garlic/ginger, it's worth it.
Also tastes really nice on the BBQ, just make the chicken pieces smaller, so it can cook quicker

what did you think of the taste?

It was all right, different spices to what you used though, followed a different recipe as it was a couple of week ago when I made them.

edit ~ Just made some more with a few drops of colouring, over did the lettuce but I ate it :D (added different spices too)

Thanks for this... trying tonight. I will post the results of my culinary upgrade. I doubled all the herbs / spices as I am going with the min 3 hours time limit (*had to do work and didn't get time to hit the shops). I also used saffron instead of colouring. Will advise.
 
Total perfection... I doubled all the spices and used 2 thumb sized pieces of fresh ginger, fresh coriander and ground down the cumin in the 'coffee grinder that has never ground coffee'... (keep for spices)... Served with Greek yoghurt with mint sauce added (sounds weird, but it works so well), rice & peas and roasted veg . Thanks a million for this!!!

NOTE: This was 100% adherence to the recipe.

glad u liked it, its even better done on a BBQ.
 
I think this deserves a bump. Just had a spice drawer audit at home and decided to use the tailings to make up a jar of dry rub. Simply use a teaspoon of dried garlic in place of each clove of fresh and same for the ginger. Then all you need to do is add yoghurt and lemon when you're ready to go :)
