Chicken Tikka (How to make perfect Tikkas)

Chicken Tikka is a popular starter dish in India and Pakistan. There are many different Tikka recipes specially for Vegetarians like Paneer Tikka, Mushroom Tikka, Aloo Tikka etc..Tikka means Pieces and it is typically prepared in a Tandoor, but Today I am going to share a Non Veg Tikka and its none other than the Famous Chicken Tikka cooked with yogurt and some spices and skewed in the oven.. So lets get start with it..

SERVES: 2

INGREDIENTS:

Boneless Chicken Pieces - 1/4 Kg
Hung Yogurt - 1/2 cup
Tandoori Masala Powder - 2 Tea Spoons
Red Chilli Powder - 2 Tea spoons
Salt - To Taste
Oil - 1/2 Tea Spoon
Lime Juice - 1 Tea Spoon
Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 Tea Spoons
Kasuri Methi powder - 1/2 Tea Spoon
Corriander Powder - 1Tea Spoon
Butter - 1/2 Tea Spoon
Capsicum Cubes- 1/2 Cup
Tomato Cubes - 1/2 Cup
Onion Cubes- 1/2 Cup
Wooden Skewers - 4
Food Color - 2 Pinches (optional) (I didn't use)

PREPARATION METHOD:

• Take washed chicken pieces (prefer Chicken Thigh pieces) and pat dry it with a paper towel to remove any moisture from it.

• Marinate chicken with ginger garlic paste, red chilly powder, salt and lime juice for half an hour.

• After half an hour, add yogurt, tandoori masala powder( if tandoori powder is not there it can be substituted with garam masala), kasuri methi powder, corriander powder, oil, capsicum cubes, onion cubes, tomato cubes and food color to the chicken. Mix it well and marinate it for 2 hours(can be marinated for over night also). Put this in the Fridge.

• Soak Skewers for 20 mintues in the water to avoid burning it while grilling.

• Remove chicken from fridge and bring it to room temperature before use.

• Spray cooking oil or butter on the baking tray.

• Now start skewing the chicken and remaining vegetables. There is no particular order to skew it, it depends on our taste.

• Pre heat the oven to 500 Fahrenheit (260 celsius) and apply some butter on top of the chicken. Put the tray in the oven and start grilling it.

• After 15 minutes turn the skewers to other side brush it again with some butter and place it back in the oven for 10-15 more minutes.

• Chikken Tikka is ready after 25-30 minutes of grilling!!

• Serve it hot with green chutney and onions!!

Yet Another Dollar Tree Haul!! Nail Polishes with Swatches

To buy some household stuff I visited Dollar Tree and how can I not visit the makeup section.. Whenever I go to Dollar Tree I just want to see what's new in the makeup. For a Dollar we get some name brand products like Revlon, Maybelline, Wet n Wild, ELF, Sally Hansen.. so why not give it a try!! In India most of the makeup was expensive even Revlon Nailpolish would cost around 150-250 INR but then there are also brands like Lakme, Avon, Elle 18 which have good products in budget.. its not a comparision but living in USA is giving me a chance to try some brands like wet n wild, elf which I have never tried them in India. Before buying anything I just think twice to ensure that i really like the item and use it to max even though its a Dollar!! Now let's start the post..
