Instructions
- Place the chicken tikka in a large bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over them and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Now, place all the marinade ingredients in a blender and blend to a fine paste.
- Cover the chicken pieces with the marinade ensuring the chicken tikka are completely coated with the marinade.
- Allow to marinaded for six hours or up to 48 hours - the longer the better.
- When ready to cook, light a barbecue. Gas barbecues will work but I prefer the flavour of charcoal barbecues.
- You are ready to grill when you can hold your hand two inches above the grill without it being unbearably hot.
- Cook the chicken tikka on skewers turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are blackened.
