Method

  • 1. Mix the spices, colouring, lemon juice,ginger and garlic into a paste with a little water and stir in well with the yoghurt to make a tandoori marinade. Marinate the chicken in the marinade for 2-60 hours.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to its highest heat for at least 20 minutes. Shake off excess marinade and place chicken pieces on skewers on a wire rack in the oven. If preferred, do not use skewers.
  • 3. Cook for 15-20 minutes and check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest poece with a skewer. If the juices run clear it is cooked. Serve with a lemon wedge.

    • Tips

    • This is also the basis for the great Chicken Tikka Masala. I will share that one with you next! Serve the Tikka with rice, salad, naan, mint yoghurt and lemon or lime wedges. Care with the quantity of chilli you use. Yummy!!!
