Grilled Chicken Tikka Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except chicken until blended; pour over chicken in shallow dish. Stir to evenly coat chicken. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Drain chicken; discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers.
• Grill 20 min. or until chicken is done, turning occasionally.

Steps:

• Combine chilies, cilantro, yogurt, tomato paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, tikka masala, food coloring, and salt in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; flip and spray with cooking spray. Continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes more. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Peel and chop onion, garlic, and ginger. Place in a food processor along with the yogurt, cayenne and garam masala. Process until smooth. Combine the marinade with the chicken and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Once chicken has marinated, place in a single layer on a drip tray set over rimmed baking sheet (or a foil-lined baking sheet). Bake 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Peel and cut the onion into large chunks, peel and chop the ginger, and smash the garlic with a knife to remove the skin. Place the onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor and puree, then set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add oil, followed by the cinnamon stick. Add onion mixture and stir. Add a teaspoon of salt and continue stirring.
• Continue cooking for 20 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden brown. Keep a cup of water beside the stove while the onion cooks. When the onion begins to stick, add water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, and scrape the bottom of the pan to pull up the brown bits and keep the onion from burning. Add turmeric, coriander, cumin, and cayenne; mix and cook for a minute or two. Add a bit more water and continue stirring. Stir in tomato puree and season to taste with salt. Stir in the cream, turn off the heat and set aside.
• Place cooked chicken into the sauce and gently mix in the pan over low heat. Mince cilantro stems, sprinkle on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and cut into cubes so as to thread in skewers.
• In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, garlic, ginger, pepper, coriander, garam masala, ginger, and salt.
• Stir in chicken cubes and marinate for 2 hours.
• Thread the chicken onto the skewers, then brush with oil.

Steps:

• Clean your chicken, and cut it into cubes for threading on skewers.
• Take a fork and prick the chicken many times.
• Put lemon juice in bowl with chicken, stir well, and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours.
• Thread chicken onto skewers.
• Heat your grill with a nice flame and place chicken skewers on the grill.
• Brush with butter or olive oil, and grill approximately 6 minutes on each side, or until done, having nice grill/char markiings.
• Once you have grilled one side for 6 minutes, turn them over and brush with butter or olive oil, and grill 6 more minutes or until done.
• Serve with lime wedges on the side for squirting on chicken pieces; YUM!

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator up to overnight.
• For the sauce: When you're ready to make the curry, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and serrano peppers. Saute until lightly browned around the edges. Add the tomato paste and cook until the tomato has darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and the paprika and saute for about 1 minute to draw out their flavors.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. You may need more water depending on how much liquid the tomatoes give off.
• Meanwhile, fire up your grill. When it is nice and hot, lightly brush it with oil. Place the chicken on the grill, shaking off some of the excess marinade. Cook until it's charred, about 2 minutes on each side. (Don't worry that the chicken will still be a little uncooked, it finishes cooking in the sauce).
• Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor, or use an immersion blender, and process until smooth. Pour back into the skillet and bring back up to a boil. Add the chicken and fenugreek leaves, if using. Take the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir through. Garnish with minced fresh cilantro, and serve over rice, with naan, or a crusty piece of bread!
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.
