Chicken Tikka

Chicken Tikka (Version I)

This is very ancient recipe, I say. Very simple yet irresistible! So here comes the recipe.

You Need:

Boneless Chicken pieces - 1/4 kg

Chilly powder  - 1 tsp
coriander powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder 1/2 tsp

Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tsp
Curd -  1 cup
Red food color - 1/4 tsp ( Optional)
Salt To taste
Oil - As needed

Take a bowl and make a thick paste of above ingredients except chicken and oil. Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Keep it for marination for 3 to 4 hrs in refrigerator. 

Meanwhile take a wooden skewers and place it in water for one hour. Arrange the chicken pieces in the skewers and place on a tray. Pre heat the convection oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit and cook for 10 to 15 minutes each side. For each 5 min, apply oil over the pieces using brush or cotton. During last few min, check for every one min to avoid burning. 

Remove from the oven and squeeze lemon and serve hot. 

Note:

Dont use the wooden skewers without soaking them in water. This is done to avoid burning. You can use the same masala and use soya or paneer and prepare paneer tikkas.
