CHICKEN TIKKA


1 lb. boned chicken breasts


2 lg. onions


3 cloves garlic


2 tbsp. sesame seed oil


8 oz. plain yogurt


Juice from 1/2 of a lemon


3 tsp. ground coriander


1 tsp. ground turmeric


1 tsp. chili powder


1 tsp. ground ginger


1 tsp. salt


1 tsp. cayenne


Skin chicken and remove all fat. Cut chicken into cubes. Chop one onion in food processor. Add sesame seed oil, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice and all spices to food processor. Blend together for 1 1/2 minutes.


Pour marinade into covered dish or bowl. Add chicken pieces and cover bowl. Marinate for at least 24 hours and preferably 48 hours in refrigerator.





Take an onion, peel it, and cut it into quarters. Remove each individual piece of onion and use these to separate each piece of chicken on skewers. Put chicken and onion pieces on skewers. Cook slowly on a grill until they are cooked to your specifications.
we make it regularly and you don't have to only marinate it overnight to get the full flavour. Cook it for a while with all the spices and the sauce will penetrate the meat, giving it flavour. Hopefully.
