Parmjit's chicken tikka recipe is fabulous, served alone or cooked and then added to a curry. It was passed on to me by an ex-colleague and friend, Parmjit, who really knows what he's doing with a curry.

Served with some cooling raita and some crunchy lettuce this is lovely. We regularly add the tikka to curry sauces for the ost amazing curry. Try a masala, madras or pathia sauce. These are our favourites dishes.

To cook the chicken, you can either set up the Egg with direct cooking (no convEGGtor), or indirectly and cook the chicken on the LetzQ Tandoor Ring for a really authentic taste.
