I didint add pataks paste, i realy dont want to use any pre-made curry pastes.....I then also like others added some yogurt

In which case, you might prefer one of the other chicken tikka recipes on the forum?  This one relies heavily on the Pataks paste, obviously, and uses no yoghurt......

Jimmy2x - try this one from CA himself:

The good thing is that it doesn't use any pre-made Pataks or anything like that.
You may need a few extra ingredients for the tandoori masala - I know I did .

I found it just a little too garlicky for my tastes but that is easily adjusted.

Hi everyone,

I tried this a couple of months ago and it was fantastic! Just like it says on the tin!

Hi guy's,

It's just occurred to me, this recipe calls for 1 tsp Methi.  Rightly or wrongly, I have been using dried Methi leaf.  Should I have been using Methi powder?

What are the rest of you using?

Ray ???

Hi Gazman.

Ok, but why? :)

Isn't dried Methi leaf called Kasoori Methi?  I have always used methi leaf in the recipe before but it just dawned on me that the recipe wasn't clear as to if it is powder or dried leaf.

hi Razor i use 1 tsp dried methi leaves and 1 tsp dried methi powder and use 3 Tbsp of yoghurt instead of the water.

I UF,

I have started to leave out the water also, and increase the oil to 3 tbs.  I don't really see what it adds in a marinade.  I don't add any yogurt though, I hate the stuff lol

Thanks for the response UF :)

Methi leaves or seeds are different. Seens are much warmer and should be handled carefully. Methi leaves have a tendency also to overpower. Best process is soaking both in marinade with meat of your choice for a few hours. The effect is awseome but more-so with ground methi seed.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mikka,

Thanks for the info.  I'm still not clear as to what I'm to use in this recipe though but I have been using Methi leaf up until now.  I've got a batch on the go, marinating in the fridge as we speak, whereby I have used powder.  So I guess, I'll know soon enough eh? lol
