Marinated chicken skewers from the tandoor

Chicken tikka are boneless chicken pieces marinated in yoghurt and spices, cooked on skewers in the tandoor oven.

The yoghurt marinade tenderizes the meat, while charcoal and tandoor heat give it its signature smoky aroma - the base of the world-famous tikka masala.
