This recipe rocks ! I have tried it with Chicken Drumsticks, whole chicken legs and cornish game hens…. yum… Also, the hung yogurt seems to make a lot of difference as well. The red chili powder I have is too hot, so I put less of it, and add a little bit of McCormick’s red color… Also, freshly grated ginger-garlic paste is a must ! And for marination I usually leave it in the fridge and not the freezer as mentioned above. Thanks

Shilpa: It should be refrigerated…not frozen.

Hi Shilpa.. Can I use plain yogurt instead of hung yogurt? I dont have any kind of thin muslin cloth with me.. I can put the tikka pieces in the skewer and the bake them right?

Shilpa: Yes suma, you can use normal yogurt. But the marinade might become too watery. So be sure to use very thick yogurt. If you don’t have muslin cloth, you can use a clean hand karcheef(I dont have a muslin cloth with me)

hello!

i tried this recipe yesterday. but when i fryied the chicken pieces on the tawa it started becoming watery. so the pieces became soft rather than nice crispy.
please advise..

Shilpa: Ketaki, you need to fry them till all water goes off. After that you need to bake them to get the crispy outer crust.

Sandhya, what are R A B C? do you have the oven user manual with you? Please check if you have it. I thought they might be broil, bake clean, but I donno.Usually the tray does not matter. You should keep the oven on a lower temperature. I think yours was too hot, so the pieces got burnt. Keep checking them every 5mins initially till you get a good knowledge of oven.

Hi Shilpa,
I liked your tikka recipe.

I tried chicken tikka. But I am not good at hanling oven. I dont know which tray to use and where I need to keep it. We have some R A B C etc. I kept fried chicken in grilled pan and put it on B stand in oven and cooked for 10 min. In 10 min all chicken pieces(only 7 pieces I tried) were turned black .
Can you suggest which tray to use in oven.
