Chicken Tikka Kebabs Food

CHICKEN TIKKA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put 8 wooden skewers in a bowl of water to soak. Mix the yogurt and curry paste together in a bowl, then add the chicken (if you have time, marinate for an hr or so). In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, red onion, coriander and lemon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
• Shake off any excess marinade, then thread the chicken pieces and cherry tomatoes onto the pre-soaked skewers. Cook under a medium grill for 15-20 mins, turning from time to time, until cooked through and nicely browned.
• Stir the lettuce or pea shoots into the salad, then divide between 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 chicken tikka skewers and serve with the warm chapatis.

CHICKEN TIKKA KEBABS WITH INDIAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the curry paste in a large bowl. Add the chicken, season, then stir really well. Cover and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature to give the spices time to flavour the chicken (or make ahead and chill for several hours or overnight).
• Make the salad before you start to cook the kebabs. Simply mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, chilli, onion and coriander. Season lightly, then cover until you're ready to serve with the meal.
• Preheat the grill or barbecue. Push the chicken onto 8 metal or wooden skewers. Grill or barbecue the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning them frequently. At the same time, warm the tortillas or chapatis on one side of the barbecue, wrapping them in foil. Serve two kebabs per person, with two tortillas or chapatis and plenty of salad.

CHICKEN TIKKA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast pieces into a bowl or freezer bag with the yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, chilli powder, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
• Mix together so that everything is combined, then cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours.
• If you're using wooden skewers, place them in water to soak while the chicken is marinating. This will help to prevent them burning during grilling.
• Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and thread onto skewers.
• Brush the chicken with the oil, then place on a griddle plate and cook, turning a couple of times, for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill (broil) under a grill, or you can barbecue for the same amount of time.
• Make sure the chicken is cooked by slicing into a larger piece and ensuring it's no longer pink in the middle.
• Serve with a sprinkling of freshly chopped coriander.

CHICKEN TIKKA

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with lemon juice and salt. Rub in, cover and refrigerate for 20minutes. This step helps the meat to tenderise, resulting in juicier, chicken pieces.
• In another bowl, combine ginger, garlic, cumin, paprika, garam masala, cayenne and yogurt. Add in chicken pieces and mix well. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours but ideally overnight.
• To cook, preheat the grill to highest setting. Thread the meat onto wooden skewers and brush with oil. Put the skewers on a shallow baking tray and grill for approx 6 minutes each side until browned and cooked through.
• Serve with pilau rice and naan.

DELICIOUS CHICKEN TIKKA SKEWERS

• Cut the chicken into 1" cubes; sprinkle with salt and lemon juice and leave for approx 10 minutes.
• For the marinade, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger and ground spices in a bowl until mixed well.
• Thread chicken on to skewers and brush liberally with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, better overnight.

PANEER TIKKA KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Heat the mustard seed oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the besan and stir constantly until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place the yogurt, lime juice, tandoori masala, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, turmeric, garlic, chiles, ginger, fenugreek leaves (if using), reserved besan mixture and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl and mix well. It should have the consistency of hollandaise sauce; if it's too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water and mix well.
• For the skewers: Gently mix together the paneer and just enough marinade to coat in a medium bowl, being careful not to break the paneer. Add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, thread the tomatoes, peppers, onions and paneer in an alternating pattern on 12 metal skewers, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. Lay the skewers on the grates and grill, uncovered, until grill marks form on the bottom of the paneer, about 3 minutes. Flip the skewers, brush with the melted butter and cook just until grill marks form on the other side, about 3 minutes more. (It's important not to overcook the paneer as it can become hard and rubbery.)
• Slide the paneer and vegetables off the skewers onto a platter. Garnish with cilantro and drizzle with some Cilantro-Yogurt Chutney. Serve with the remaining chutney for dipping.
• Combine the cilantro, yogurt, chiles, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and process until smooth. It should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. If it's too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Taste and add more lime juice and/or salt, if needed.

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA SKEWERS

• Combine remaining ingredients (tomato paste through oil) in a small bowl. Add spice mixture to the yogurt coated chicken and mix well to combine. Allow chicken to marinate for up to 30 minutes in the fridge while you prepare the Cilantro-Lime Dipping Sauce.
• Place all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, as desired.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (425-450℉).
• Thread chicken onto the skewers then grill for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve with Cilantro-Lime Dipping Sauce.
