Hi Achille
I initially started with a recipe from 'The Takeaway Secret' by Kenny McGovern. I then stumbled across a recipe online for a tikka paste. Here's the link:
http://www.foodnetwork.co.uk/recipes/tikka-paste-ru292315.html
I have tweaked it slightly and after joining this site in January, I now use it with Zaal's base gravy so there are parts from here and there.
I hope you like it.

Mark

It says when making the Tikka  "2 - 3 tbsp tikka marinade"  how do you do this, do you have to make up a separate batch of marinade as the one I already made Ive used to cover the chicken in for 24 hours .

Does it mean 2-3 tbsp of Tikka Paste?
