Title: Lahori chargha vs Chicken tikka
Post by: Kashmiri Bob on March 18, 2014, 09:12 PM
Couple of starter dish efforts:


Lahori chargha

Packet spice/recipe. Steamed chicken, brushed with oil, and grilled.  Tester after 24 h marinade. Served with a simple home-made cucumber raita, sprinkled with Mangal dahi wada masala/paprika. Very tasty.

Good old chicken tikka lemon squeezy. Also very tasty. Reckon my camera is playing up.  But at least the salad's come out nice.

That is certainly akin of fine dining BIR! Not too shabby. Now that I know where you live, don't be too surprised if you find yourself among uninvited guests! ;-)

Particularly happy with chargha.  Steaming chicken seems to be a very good method.  Resultantl texture of this first effort was indistinguishable from real tandoori chicken.  One of my favourite BIR starters, and on-the-bone.  Never really got that close cooking tandoori chicken in a conventional oven, so will be having a go steam/grill later this week.  I'll get some chicken quarters marinading today.  Also noted that the water used to steam the chargha portions (x 3) is now a fine looking gelatinous stock.  This won't be wasted.
