5 Tantalising Tikka Recipes To Try

By Aanchal Mathur

Imagine chicken chunks marinated and then threaded  onto metal skewers, cooked  in a tandoor oven and  resulting in smoky, charred,  juicy and tender tikkas. Aren’t you slurping already?  Here are five yummy tikka  recipes to try.

Malai Tikka

This malai tikka, though not  cooked in the traditional tandoor,  is wrapped in a cream marinade  with cream cheese and  yoghurt, which gives it a  gentle mild flavour.

Pineapple Tikka

Pineapple chunks marinated  in a pool of spices, and roasted  till perfect crisp; you’d never go  back to the usual vegetable  options post this.

Egg Tikka

This tikka recipe has eggs halved  into two, coated in egg whites,  bread crumbs and a mixture of  potato, garam masala, chillies  and spices, before being  deep-fried.     

Hariyali Paneer Tikka

Marinated in an exotic green combination of fennel, ginger,  garlic, onion, chillies, mint  leaves and yoghurt, this  paneer tikka is unmissable.

Tandoori Gobhi Tikka

Marinated in tandoori masala and cooked in a cast iron pan, this  gobhi (cauliflower) tikka is a  paradise for spice lovers.
