Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken thighs
salt
1 cardamom, pod
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1/4 onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken thighs, pat dry, and remove the skin. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then let stand while you mix the marinade.
  • In a mini food processor of spice grinder, combine the cardamom, garlic, and ginger. Process to a fine paste. Place paste in a small bowl or zip top bag.
  • Add yogurt, lemon juice, pepper and cayenne to the paste, and stir to combine. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 12 hours.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. Brush and oil the grate. Remove chicken from the marinade, and place on the hot grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the outside is nicely browned and the inside is completely cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Place cooked chicken on a platter, and top with the sliced onion.

This is one of the best chicken tikka recipes I've ever tried. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is perfectly spiced.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and the sauce was bland.

I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

This recipe was a hit! The chicken was flavorful and tender, and the sauce had just the right amount of heat. I served it with basmati rice and yogurt sauce, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
