Notes

Important note:
  • Usually, smoky flavor is given to tikkas made using veg or non veg. Follow the method below to give that smoky flavors.
How to give a smoky flavor:
  • In order to give a smoky touch, take a burning charcoal, place the coal into a small steel bowl, place it in between the pan with tikkas, pour ghee on the coal and immediately cover the lid of the pan and let it stay for few minutes.
  • This method gives a smoky aroma to all the tikkas.
  • This method is entirely optional and to get a restaurant feel this method can be tried.
Other important tips:
  • If non stick pans are used then one can reduce the quantity of oil and yet get an amazing taste.
  • Try to cook them in very little oil if the utensils used are non stick.
  • The overall cooking time for making chicken malai tikka is 30 minutes.
  • Serve them with any chutney dip, mayonnaise or just enjoy plain as a starter.
  • Here I have added only kaju/cashewnut paste but one can also soak almonds, peel them and make a paste of it as well and add to the marinade to make it even more rich.
  • Malai or cream too can be added to make it highly creamy and rich.
