- Chicken Tikka
-
-
- 800g / 1.75 lb chicken legs (6 legs?)
- Butter for basting
-
- The marinade:
-
- 50g/0.25 cup Yoghurt
- 40g/6.75 tsp ginger paste
- 40g/6.75 tsp garlic paste
- 3g/0.5 tsp white pepper powder
- 3g/0.5 tsp cummin powder
- 5g/1 tsp Mace-nutmeg-cardamom powder
- 3g/0.t tsp Red Chilli Powder (substitute cayenne powder)
- 3g/0.5 tsp Tumeric
- 60ml/4 Tbs Lemon juice
- 20g/2 Tbs Gramflour
- Salt to taste
- 75ml/5 Tbs Groundnut Oil (Use any veg oil)
-
-
- Clean, remove skin and debone chicken. Cut each leg into 4 pieces - 24
- tikka in all.
-
- Whisk yoghurt in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix
- well. Rub the chicken pieces with this mixture. Keep aside for 3 1/2 hours.
-
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
- Skewer the marinated tikka at least an inch apart. Keep
- a tray underneath to collect the drippings.
-
- Roast in a moderately hot tandoor for 6-7 minutes, basting at least
- once. In a charcoal grill, for about the same time, basting once. In a
- pre-heated oven, roast the tikka for 8-10 minutes, basting at least
- twice. Make sure that the chicken does not touch the sides or the
- bottom of the oven.
-
- Note: a tasty variation of the Murgh Tikka is the Tikka Harra Bharra
- (Tikka, green all over), made with the addition of mint and corriander
- paste (50g/3 Tbs) to the marinade.
