Tips & Secrets
- Using mustard oil in the marinade is the secret to achieving that authentic pungent aroma.
- Longer marination time is crucial; it allows the spices to penetrate deep and tenderize the meat.
- High heat is essential for a professional finish; low heat will steam the chicken and make it dry.
- Basting with butter at the end adds a beautiful glossy sheen and extra richness to the tikka.
