I made this last weekend but lacked the Pataks Tandoori Paste. So I used some Rajah Tandoori Massala instead and added 1 tsp of tamarind paste plus a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt instead of the water. Marinated for 24 hours it was quite simply the best CT I have tasted and it melted in the mouth. To cook the tikka I set the oven to 230 and cooked the chicken on skewers for just 5 minutes. I then added the chicken to the CTM sauce and cooked for a further 5 mins - Highly recommended recipe - well done Blade

I make this a lot now and throw it on the BBQ, i tend to put the chicken on metal skewers with onion between each piece of chicken.

This is one of the best recipes on the site, it really is amazing.
I also add in a bit of Deggi Mirch now, which is fiery red chili powder and this works a treat.

If you have not tried this recipe you are missing out.

So this is the first thing I've tried from this site, I've just put this to marinade, was surprised when I saw this with no Yogurt etc but it looks and smells great. Had some Chicken drumsticks hanging around so I scorched them with a sharp knife about 6 times each and stood them in the Lemon Jucie. I added one extra tbl spoon of water to get more coverage and added about 1 tbl spoon of fresh chopped coriander ( will add more to serve). Could not find a Pataks Tandoori paste but found one made by "deep" with looks just as good, checked for Tamarind..

Also found a new great Indian bazar here today which I was like a kid in a sweet shop  ;D, there are not many here in Orlando.

Can anyone tell me what a desert spoonful should consist of in quantity please? I have several desertspoons which I use for puddings and quite a few of them are different sizes.

I have proper spoons for a teaspoon and tablespoon measure but not a desertspoon  :-\

Can this recipe also be used for Lamb tikka? I have to say I prefer lamb tikka to chicken tikka.

If not does anyone have a recipe for lamb tikka please?  :)

I use the 15-10-5ml method with a dessertspoon being around 10ml, Tablespoon 15ml, Teaspoon 5ml. I believe technically a dessert spoon would actually be around 12ml.
