Chicken Tikka

African Chicken Recipe

Sponsored Links
This Kenyan Chicken Tikka recipe is a curry style dish of Indian inspiration. This traditional Kenyan recipe of chicken made in a stew like stock is a classic Kenyan treat.

The British named tikka invented it with a cream sauce. However, most Africans are lactose intolerant so the proper tikka doesn't really apply in Africa.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cleaned
2 tsp tomato puree
1 tsp curry powder
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp oil
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup tamarind juice
salt, cayenne pepper, and sugar to taste

Method

Combine the tomato purée, curry powder, garlic, salt and pepper with 3 tbsp oil. Mix thoroughly with a whisk then use as a rub applying it to both the inside and outside of the chicken until it's completely coated
Cover and allow to marinate for 1 hour for the flavour to penetrate the meat.
Grill or oven roast the chicken until browned and tender.

Sauce

Add the salt and cayenne pepper to the tamarind juice and then add enough sugar to get a sharp yet sweet flavour.

Cut the chicken into pieces, and serve over a bed of rice. Yummy good!

Tip

Tamarind juice is available at most Indian or Asia supermarkets.
