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)

- 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
Always remember, whenever you make a fry. keep the marinate right at start of the cooking.
So that you can proceed with other curry preparation. This way the masala gets well toned with the meat for longer interval of time. And your fried dish would be too yum.
