Okay.....I promised this to Lynne last night on FNCC but if anyone else has a go at it, remeber I don't have 3rd party liability insurance so don't waste your time trying to take me to court!!

CHICKEN TIKKA

Serves 4.

1 pint of live natural yogurt
1 Tablespoon Cumin Powder
1 Tablespoon garam massala
1 Teaspoon Coriander powder
1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon chilli powder
Juice of 1 lemon
8 cloves garlic - crushed
1 inch grated ginger
Red food colouring
4 Chicken Breasts cubed
1 Lemon.

METHOD.

Mix the spices, colouring, lemon juice, ginger and garlic up into a paste with a little water and stir into the yogurt to make a tandoori marinade. Marinade the chicken in the marinade for 2 - 6 hours in the fridge. Turn your oven on to its highest heat for at least 20 mins to pre warm. Shale the excess marinade off the chicken and place the chicken cubes onto skewers on a wire rack in the oven. Cook for 15 - 20 mins and check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest piece with a skewer. If the juices are clear, its cooked and serve with a wedge of lemon.

For the Massalla sauce, just follow the next bit..

INGREDIENTS.

2 Tins of chopped tomatoes or 1 tin of Tinned Tomato soup.
1 onion finely chopped
2 Teaspoons Curry powder
1/2 Teaspoon Chilli powder
1 Clove garlic - crushed
3 inches of Root Ginger grated
5 Tablespoons Vegtable Oil
4 Tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
1 Tablespoon whole Coriander leaves
1 Teaspoon Garam Massalla
2 Tablespoons Yogurt
Cream to garnish
Optional Brown Sugar or Mango Chutney.

METHOD

Make a paste of curry powder and chilli powder with a little water. Fry the onion until translicent in the vegetable oil and then add the garlic, ginger and stir fry for a further 5 minutes. Add the yogurt and Chilli powder paste and stir in and fry for another 30 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes or soup and simmer for 20 minutes for the chopped tomatoes or 5 mins if you're using the soup. If you prefer the sauce on the sweet side, then add either the brown sugar or Mango chutney at this stage, but just add a little at a time according to your preffered taste. Stir in your already cooked and prepared Chikken Tikka when the sauce has cooked. Add the finely chopped coriander leaves and cook for a further minute. Serve with a little cream swirled on top and the whole coriander leaves sprinkled over the top.

Like I already stated...if you're brave enough to have a go, it usually turns out great!!...........................however, if it doesn't....remember, that I'm only carpenter after all!!!
