Chicken Tikka

Chicken Tikka recipe, eat well on universal credit

We fancied a break from the Asian recipes, so we went to India for a change. Pretty close geographically, but quite a difference in the spice profile.

Ingredients:-

2 Uncooked Chicken Breasts, cubed
100ml Lactose free Milk
2 Tbsp Margarine, melted
1/ Tsp of Cumin powder
½ Tsp of Coriander powder
½ Tsp of Chilli powder
½ Tsp of Turmeric
½ a Lime, juiced
½ a Lemon, juiced
 2 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
½ Tsp of Garam Masala
20ml of Oil
Salt & White Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Season the Chicken with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Add the Milk to a bowl and then add the Lemn and Lime juice. Stir in and let it rest for 10 minutes.
(3) Add all the remaining ingredients and combine.
(4) Pour the mixture over the Chicken and coat fully.
(5) Place in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours, preferably over night.
(6) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(7) Place the Chicken on a baking tray and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until fully cooked through.

We served ours with boiled Rice, home brewed Onion Bhaji, a Cucumber salad and popadoms.

Asian style Devilled Lime & Ginger Kidney

OK so Pork Kidney is not traditional for this dish, but they were ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 62p. The Mushrooms were also ‘Yellow Sticker’ at 32p, so all in all this recipe was well under budget and if I do say it myself, Restaurant quality….

Ingredients:-

400g of Pork Kidney, cut into small pieces
4 Mushrooms, finely diced
2 Shallots, finely diced
2 Clove of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of dried Oregano
1 Tsp of dried Thyme
60ml of water
15ml of Greek style Yogurt
The juice of 1 Lime
1 Tsp of Lime zest
1 Tbsp of Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Cut and rinse the Kidneys.
(2) Coat in Cornflour and set aside covered.
(3) In a frying pan with a little Oil saute the Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, Ginger, Oregano, Thyme, with a seasoning of Salt and Pepper until the Onion is translucent.
(4) Remove this mixture and cover.
(5) In the same pan add the cut Kidneys and saute until the juices run clear.
(6) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(7) Add the Onion mixture back to the pan and stir in the Greek Yogurt, Lime Juice & Zest and stir well.
(8) Continue to stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
(9) Add everything back to the pan and stir to combine until heated through.

We’d been joking about an All Day Breakfast, so we served ours with Tokneneng  and crispy bacon, with a Pea shoot garnish over a ramekin of boiled Rice. Looks dreadfully fancy, but cost us very little!
