Chicken Tikka
Chicken Tikka is a classic Indian grilled delicacy, known for its bold spices, tender texture, and smoky flavor. Boneless pieces of chicken are marinated in a rich blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and aromatic spices, then skewered and grilled to perfection.

The marinade typically includes ingredients such as ginger-garlic paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and a touch of mustard oil or butter. This mixture infuses the chicken with deep flavor while keeping it moist and succulent.

Once marinated, the chicken is cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) or on a grill until it's lightly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside. The high-heat cooking method gives it a signature smoky aroma and seared edges.

Served with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and sliced onions, Chicken Tikka is a perfect appetizer or main course that celebrates the harmony of spices and grilled goodness. It's often accompanied by naan or served as part of a larger North Indian meal.
