Recipe for the Chicken Tikka
1 ½ pound fresh chicken breasts, skinned, filleted and cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons chilli powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon turmeric
5 fluid ounces thick natural yoghurt, home made is best but not essential
2 tablespoons mustard oil
4 large, plump garlic cloves very finely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 teaspoon salt
approximately 2 fluid ounces milk
Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large non-metallic bowl. Add the chicken pieces. Cover with cling film (Food wrap) and refrigerate for 24 to 60 hours. (If chicken has previously been frozen do not exceed the 24 hour marinating period, 60 hours can be achieved with fresh chicken which has not previously been frozen)
Just prior to cooking divide the chicken between four skewers. (Use the marinade in a curry or discard it)
Preheat the grill to medium. Place the skewered chicken on an oven rack above a foil lined grill tray and place the tray in a midway position. Alternately the chicken can be barbecued. Cook for 5 minutes, turn and cook foe another 5 minutes. Cut through one piece of chicken to ensure it is fully cooked through, it should be white right through with no hint of pink. Cook further as necessary. When fully cooked raise the tray nearer to the heat and singe pieces to obtain little flecks of blackening. Do not overdo it and burn the chicken.
Serve with Indian bread, rice etc and a raita or reserve for use in Chicken Tikka Massala.
Chicken Tikka
2 pound chicken legs, about 6 legs
butter for basting
¼ cup yogurt
2 tablespoon ginger paste
2 tablespoon garlic paste
½ teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon mace-nutmeg-cardamom powder
½ teaspoon red chilli powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
4 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon gram flour
salt, to taste
5 tablespoon oil
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 ½ hours. Preheat the oven to 350°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 to 7 minutes, basting at least once. In a charcoal grill, for about the same time, basting once. In a preheated oven, roast the tikka for 8 to 10 minutes, basting at least twice. Make sure that the chicken does not touch the sides or the bottom of the oven.
Chicken Tikka
2 pounds boneless cubes chicken
½ cup yogurt
2 teaspoon red chili powder
3 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoon tikka seekh kabob
3 tablespoon butter
1 bell pepper, cut into 1 inch circle
1 large onion, cut into 1 inch circle
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
Marinate the chicken with all the spices and ingredients for at least 4 to 24 hours. The more time you marinate the tastier it will be.
Light the barbecue with charcoal. Make sure the coal are red hot. Cut small slices of capsicum, and cut onion skin into 1 inch square. Insert the marinated chicken, capsicum and onions into the barbecue rods. Put it in the barbecue, rotating every 10 minutes. Brush some butter over the chicken as you rotate. Remove from barbecue when the chicken turns golden brown.

3 chicken breasts
4 Tbsp olive or groundnut oil
5 cardamom pods
a 5cm cinnamon stick
1 ½ onions
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ to 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 large tomato
1 tsp tomato purée
5 fl oz water
Salt to taste
Yoghurt or 1 tin coconut milk, if desired
Fresh coriander to garnish
1 sharp knife
1 chopping board
1 plate or tray
1 mixing bowl
1 large wide pan
2 wooden or regular spoons
1 bowl for mixing the spices
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients
First of all, chop up the tomato finely and set aside for later use. Next, finely chop the onions and set aside. Finally, cube the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with a little salt and also put to one side.
Step 2
Make the masala paste
Mix together in a bowl the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and paprika.
Step 3
Flavour the oil and fry the onions
Put the oil into a pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick, leave for a few seconds and then remove. This flavours the oil, giving it a wonderful aroma. Add the onions and cook while stirring, until brown.
Step 4
Add the spices
Add the masala paste and stir for a minute.
Step 5
Add the remaining ingredients
Add the tomato and tomato purée and stir for a minute till thoroughly combined.
Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
Taste the sauce and season with salt if necessary.
Step 6
Cook the chicken
Add the chicken cubes and mix well into the masala. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked and tender. Check this by piercing the chicken with a sharp knife - if it goes straight through and comes out clean, it is done. For a weaker curry flavour, add either 1 small tin of coconut milk or 1 medium sized carton of yoghurt. Mix well and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 7
Garnish and serve
Place the chicken on a serving dish, decorate with coriander leaves and serve.

Indian Chicken:
1½ hours 15 min prep
6 servings
1 ounce cashews (unsalted and toasted)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons canola oil
8 ounces vidalia onions (frenched or radially-cut)
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves (minced)
4 teaspoons gingerroot (minced)
salt and black pepper (may substitute white pepper for black)
15 ounces garbanzo beans (aka "chick peas", canned are fine)
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup coconut milk
6 chicken thighs
2 tablespoons butter
1. In a blender, powerful enough to pulverize nuts, place the cashews and salt. Puree them into a paste, slowly drizzling in the extra virgin olive oil to form an emulsion. It should soon take on a peanut butter-like consistency. Remove to a bowl and save for later.
2. In a skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat, saute the onions and red chili flakes in the canola oil until the onions begin to turn transluscent.
3. Add the minced garlic and ginger root and continue to saute until the garlic barely shows some color on the edges. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Add the garbonzo beans with any liquid from either the can or rehydration. Stir in the lemon juice, cashew paste from the blender, and curry powder and allow to come to a simmer.
5. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, and chicken thighs and stir to cover the meat. Return to a simmer, lower heat to low, and put on the tight-fitting lid. Simmer like this for 30 minutes.
6. With a spatula or pair of tongs, turn over each chicken thigh and spoon the sauce over each piece. Re-cover and simmer for another 30 minutes.
7. Remove the lid and whisk in the butter to thicken the sauce.
8. Serve with rice. OPTIONAL: You may want to sprinkle some minced green onion over the top just before serving.
