chicken tikka

Chicken Tikka is a popular Indian dish made from small pieces of chicken marinated in yogurt and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala. The marinated chicken is traditionally cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor, which gives it a smoky flavor and slightly charred texture. Known for its juicy taste and rich aroma, chicken tikka is often served with mint chutney, onions, and lemon wedges. It is enjoyed both as an appetizer and as part of main-course dishes like chicken tikka masala, making it a favorite in Indian cuisine around the world.
