The word Tikka means bits, piecces or chunks. Chicken Tikka is an
easy-to-cook dish in which chicken chunks are marinated in special
spices and then deep fried or grilled on skewers. This is one of Indian sub-continent's most popular dishes. Chicken Tikka can also be made into
Chicken Tikka Masala, a tasty gravy dish or hara (green) masala tikka
with green chutney and sauce.
I made today finger licking tikka, which was the first priority for all during the meals :P The green masala paste I made is also very good for health, as it contains fresh ginger, garlic, ajwain, jeera, coriander leaves, yogurt, pepper corn & green chilli. See that you add the flavored spices to adequate quantity. I have added curry leaves while frying. It really gave an awesome flavor to the fried Tikka's. Try it, you too would love it!!
2-3 tbsp corn flour
Boneless Chicken pieces 1/2 kg
Oil for frying
Curry leaves 4 tbsp (well chopped)
Salt
Ingredients for green masala: Grind the following masala to fine paste
Coriander leaves 2 cups
6 green chilli
15 pepper corn
1" ginger chops
5 garlic cloves
1/4 tbsp ajwain
1/4 tbsp jeera

1/4 tbsp ajwain
1/4 tbsp jeera
3 tbsp yogurt
1/2 lemon juice
Method:
- Mix the green masala along the chopped curry leaves and add salt as per your taste.
- Add corn flour , as required to make a thick paste.
- Mix the chicken piece well with the masala & marinade it for an hour.
- Now when the marination is done, deep fry the chicken in oil. [See that you have kept the flame at medium throughout the frying process. Flip the pieces every 3 mins gently; this is to keep the green color intact. Else by over cooking one side and if the flame is high, you would lose all the nutrition from the green masala :)]
- Serve as a side dish along the meal. You can also have it as starter along green chutney and thick yogurt mixed in mint paste with a little of chat masala into it. Wow I love this :) :P
