Steps

30 mins

1

Wash your chicken and then leave to drain in a colander
2

Prepare the Marinade.
Heat the oil and add the besin and Shan masala.
Leave to a side to cool
3

Put the chicken into a bowl and add
Salt, Garlic Ginger paste, Kashmir mirch, Chilli powder, Haldi, Chilli flakes, Lemon juice and Pakeeza yogurt
4

Give it all a very good mix making sure all the chicken coated well.
5

Add orange food colour according to personal choice. One quarter of teasp should be plenty but add or reduce accordingly. This is only for presentation purpose. It doesn't change the taste
6

Marinade of oil besin and Shan masala should have cooled down by now. Once cool add to the chicken and give a very thorough mix.
7

Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 4 hrs. Preferably overnight.
8

Once you are ready to assembled the chicken, cut the Peppers and Red onion into 2 cms chunks, making sure you have separated thr oinion into single pieces.
9

Soak the skewers in water for aprox 20 mins
10

Assemble the skewers according to personal choice. I start with an onion then a pepper followed by a piece of chicken. Repeat this step. Then add a cherry tomato. Add chicken then pepper and onion. Repeat this step.
11

Once you have assembled the skewers then put some foil in a rectangle baking tin. Baste slightly with the oil
12

Preheat oven to gas mark 180.
13

Place the tin in the oven for aprox 15 mins checking occasionally to see the chicken isn't cooking too quickly. If so turn the temp down slightly.
14

Take chicken tikka out of oven and rotate so that bottom side is up. Baste again and place back in oven for a further 15 minutes checking occasionally
15

Once the chicken is ready serve with Naan Bread, Salad and any sauce or chutney. I prefer Clay Oven Naans.
