mickdabass' Ultimate Tikka Marinade

[Stephen Lindsay]

CH I had loads of potatoes and I hate wasting food, so potato salad with mustard mayo it was!

Here's my attempt at your recipe as spec served with salad and Dips yellow mint sauce, and potato salad and it was pretty tasty and maybe a bit hotter than I usually do mine. Gonna try the same marinade but with some yoghurt added as a comparison.

That looks tasty SL. thanks for trying my recipe. Looking forward to hearing about the yoghurt comparison. Sorry it took me a while to reply

[Stephen Lindsay]

cheers mickdabass I've added yoghurt to your recipe and that's what's being cooked tomorrow evening!

Hi Stephen, how many teaspoons are you using for the tandoori masala powder?

Hi Stephen, how many teaspoons are you using for the tandoori masala powder?

UF I used 3 tbsp as per the recipe, the  mix I use is basically a Pat Chapman recipe.

Ok  recipe printed and in the 'Ruby Binder' in kitchen.
One question though.
I have never had reason to powder fennel or star anise.
Can't see the fennel being too bad but the anise?
Do you do the whole star, seeds, pods and all and do you find it best to use pestal and mortar or electric spice grinder.

More chicken defrosting overnight. Gotta say, 15 tsps tandoori masala sounds a lot for just four breasts chicken. Will try it though.
