Chicken Tikka KEEEEBAAAAABSSSS!!

(Dedicated to Clare James who gave me the idea for the domain name and likes this recipe) 

This received good reviews last Saturday when I took them into work.

I wont be giving exact measures because I cant

Ingredients:

4 Chicken breast (well duh)

Natural Yoghurt (enough to cover the chicken)

Turmeric (about 1tsp)

Tikka Curry Powder (about 2tsp or more depending on how spicy you want it)

Fenugreek (about 1/2 tsp)

Grated Garlic (1 or 2 cloves depending on taste)

Olive Oil (about 1tbsp)

Coriander (about a handful fresh or 1tsp dry but fresh is better)

Juice of 1/2 a lime

Salt and Pepper

Preparation:

Chicken Marinating
(also some Onion Bahji mix.. but that's for another post)

 Cut Chicken in to pieces (about as long as your thumb) and place in a bowl

Chuck everything else in another bowl and mix well.

leave for about 15min taste it, add more of whatever YOU think it needs.

Mix with the Chicken and leave for at least an hour or two but the longer the better.

Also when you mix it with the chicken stab the chicken pieces with a fork to get the flavour in.

Cooking:

Place the Chicken on flat metal skewers but don't bunch them up too much.

Now there are two ways of cooking these.

1: Use a grill pan on a medium heat turning slowly until cooked or

2: Use a grill pan on HIGH heat, sear the chicken on all side then place in a large roasting tray, poor over any leftover marinade, cover in tin foil and put in a low oven (about 140c) until cooked (about 30min or so but make sure you check). When i has finished cooking in the oven take it out, leave the foil on and leave it to stand for about 10min.

Serve with rice and/or bread with a yoghurt dip (I will post a recipe for one another time)
