TIKKA AND LEGS !!

TIKKA  AND LEGS !!  

Hi there !!

 I  am going to blog about one of my favorites  the ever young, undying Tikka. The word ‘tikka’ means pieces, bits or chunks, and is traditionally marinated in curd, aromatic spices and other herbs  and then grilled on skewers. Served simply with sliced onions and a squeeze of lemon or lime, and it's  flavors? Mind blowing  

Ingredients for curd dipped Tikka is : 250 gm cubed chicken, 1 tsp  refined oil, 1 tsp turmeric powder,1 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste,50 gm malai ,50 gm curd,1 lime,1 Tbsp garam masala,Salt, to taste

Prep for the garam masala: 1 tsp cumin,1 tsp coriander powder,1 tsp black pepper,1 tsp kebab chini,5-6 green cardamom,1 stick cinnamon,5-6 cloves,1 tsp mango powder

In a pan, dry roast cumin, coriander powder, black pepper, kebab chini, green cardamom, cinnamon and cloves.

Grind them in a mortar and pestle and add mango powder. Mix them well.

For the tikka: In a bowl, add chicken cubes, refined oil, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, malai, curd, juice of 1/2 lime, the prepared garam masala and salt. Mix them well together. Keep them in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven or tandoor  for 20 minutes at medium heat and  roast the marinated chicken pieces in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove ,squeeze half lime over it and Serve hot.
