Chicken lahori tikka

CHICKEN LAHORI TIKKA / MURG LAHORI TIKKA / LAHORI CHICKEN TIKKA

Chicken tikka is a chicken dish originating in the Indian subcontinent , the dish is popular in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. It is traditionally small pieces of boneless chicken baked using skewers on a brazier called angeethi after marinating  in India spices  and dahi  (yogurt)—essentially a boneless version of tandoori chicken. The word tikka (Tike in Turkish, and Tikə in Azerbaijani) is a Hindi and Urdu word and means “bits” or “pieces”. It is also a chicken dish served in Punjabi cuisine . The Kashmiri version of the dish, however, is grilled over red-hot coals, and does not always contain boneless pieces. The pieces are brushed with ghee (clarified butter) at intervals to increase its flavour, while being continuously fanned. It is typically eaten with green coriander and tamarind chutney served with onion rings and lemon, or used in preparing a chicken tikka masala.
