وصفة دجاج تكا – Chicken Tikka Recipe

Chicken tikka is a great and delicious recipe if you are looking for a new easy-to-cook Indian dish. This traditional dish consists of small pieces of marinated chicken, threaded onto skewers and grilled.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 tsp. ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. garam masala
  • 3 tbsp. oil
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne
  • 5 tbsp. Greek yoghurt
  • 4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 15min
  • Rice to serve
  1. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with lemon juice and salt. Rub in, cover and refrigerate for 20minutes. This step helps the meat to tenderise, resulting in juicier, chicken pieces.
  2. In another bowl, combine ginger, garlic, cumin, paprika, garam masala, cayenne and yogurt. Add in chicken pieces and mix well. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours but ideally overnight.
  3. To cook, preheat the grill to highest setting. Thread the meat onto wooden skewers and brush with oil. Put the skewers on a shallow baking tray and grill for about 6 minutes each side until browned and cooked through.
  4. Serve with rice.
