MALAI CHICKEN TIKKA

Description

A favorite in Punjab, Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, Chicken Tikka is a delicious and aromatic dish that has won hearts across India. It consists of boneless chicken pieces marinated in yogurt, lemon juice, and a blend of traditional spices like cumin, coriander, red chili powder, and garam masala. The marinated chicken is then skewered and grilled in a tandoor (clay oven) or over an open flame, giving it a distinct smoky flavor and a slightly charred, crispy texture on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside.

Served with mint chutney, onion rings, and a squeeze of lemon, Chicken Tikka is a popular starter at Indian restaurants, street food stalls, and home gatherings. It can also be used in wraps, rolls, or even curries like Chicken Tikka Masala, making it a versatile and beloved dish in Indian cuisine!
