Cooks Note
Tandoori Murg Tikka is inspired from Punjabi style spring chicken. In our version of tandoori murgh chicken tikka we do similar marinating of boneless chicken with subtle flavours; In case of non-availability of tandoor similar preparation can be done in a preheated oven at 200-250°C for 15-20 min; Tandoori Murg Tikka can be served as a starter or intermediate, it goes well with naan bread or partha; Mint chutney is a traditional accompaniment to tandoori murg tikka.
