Title: Chicken Tikka Post by: Ryan Martis on July 05, 2009, 06:13:32 AM Ingredients:
6 - chicken(legs) ¼ cup - yoghurt ½ tsp - black pepper(powder) ¼ tsp - cardamom(powder) 2 tbsp - garlic(paste) 2 tbsp - ginger(paste) 2 tbsp - gram flour ¼ tsp - mace(powder) ¼ tsp - nutmeg(powder) salt to taste 5 tbsp - vegetable oil ¼ tsp - turmeric powder 4 tbsp - lime juice ½ tsp - red chili powder ½ tsp - cumin powder Method: 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 coriander paste (3 tbsp) to the marinade.
