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.
SauceAdd 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!TipTamarind juice is available at most Indian or Asia supermarkets.
