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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve with rice.
