Chicken Tikka Kebabs
Legend has it that the British curry house favourite chicken tikka masala was invented as a way of using up leftover pieces of grilled, marinated chicken (tikka means bits or pieces in Urdu)
These chicken tikka kebabs are so delicious that you’re unlikely to have any leftovers! The chicken is marinated in yogurt spiced with this month’s TIKKA BLEND, resulting in meltingly tender kebabs. They’re a perfect, easy summer recipe - cook them under the grill if it’s raining, or on the barbecue if the sun’s shining!
