I found this during my usual trawl of the internet for new stuff, sounds ok and a little different than the usual tikka recipes.?

I got this here:? http://www.zaika-restaurant.co.uk/recipes.html

This is a very simple dish to do. It's great for the BBQ and can be prepared two days in advance. It is best served with a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.
