I would like to thank any kind soul who would be so considerate as to provide me with a nice spicy Pakistani chicken Teka Recipe. The kind that is grilled and soaked in Yogurt first. What kind of spices get used and what are they called? I am sure great fortune will befall anyone who helps me with this. ![]()
Re: Chicken Teka Recipe - The Best
It seems that you really want the recipe. Here's one recipe for you off the internet and it seems to be a simple one. If you want that orangish/yellowish colour..then you can add a bit of food colour.
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
3-4 tablespoons yogurt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
1 small grated onion
1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons tomato paste
as per taste salt
melted butter, for basting (optional)
Cut the chicken breasts in long strips or cubes.
In a medium bowl combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, onion, chili powder, coriander, tomato paste and salt.
Add the chicken to the marinade mix well.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours but overnight is better.
Skewer the chicken and cook under a hot grill, or even nicer cook them on the barbeque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side basting them with butter.
Serve on the skewers (or remove the chicken from the skewers if you prefer).
Another thing you can do is go to a pakistani or indian grocery store and get yourself a chicken tikka masala readymade powder packet and follow the instructions. Some of the famous brands include shan, national, laziza etc.
Best of luck.

For better results add both of Qrius baaji's masale and Shan Masaala :D
(I would also add in some garam masala to the ones she mentioned above)
