Malai Tikka
« on: October 14, 2016, 04:11 PM »
Bit of a Tikka cook off today!

Wet and windy miserable Friday, but its Friday, so its curry night!

Bought 3kg of fresh chicken tenders and decided to
cook it off in the Tandor, ideal for starters and curries.

Malai Tikka is one of my favourite BIR starters and is a complete contrast to classic Tikka
the light dairy marinade produces a soft succulent texture to the Tikka
which is mildly spiced and melt in the mouth delicious.

Great In curries like Saag or Methi Malai Murgh or a creamy Pasanda, Korma or Nawabi



Malai Tikka



Classic Tikka (Spicy)



Plenty for curries. These chicken tenders are from large birds, so three per curry will be a good portion. Yum :P


Cannot beat this straight out of the oven. Delicious  ;)
cheers Chewy

That looks like what Atul Kochar was making on Celebrity Masterchef recently but I didn't know what it was called! I'll second LC's recipe request!  ;)

Hi LC-MM
Loads of recipes for this, you just have to break it down
to what tastes good for you and yours.

First Marinade -
Liberal coating of G&G, Lemon dressing and seasoned with salt.
Left for an Hour in a freezer bag.
Second Marinade -
I tried all kinds of cheese, Cheddar type cheeses, all were too strong
and took the the flavour in the wrong direction.

I eventually went down the route of soft white cheeses
until I found the mildest with a little bit of tang. Aldi haha ;D

Tried Double Cream for the bulk of the marinade, but ended up
using Whipping Cream and Mayo mixture. 50-50
Used toasted Almond powder, but I ground it even finer (Coffee Grinder) 2Tbs
Made a Green Cardamom powder 1Tsp
A big 1Tsp of White Pepper powder - White much better for this than Black.
1Tbs of G&G
1Tbs of Honey for sweetness
All added to the freezer bag, squished about and left for 3 Hours.

This cooks much quicker on the skewer than normal.
