absolutely WONDERFUL! I've never had Indian food before, and I really loved this dish. I didn't include the jalepeno or cilantro for personal preference, and it still turned out awesome.

This was DELICIOUS! I was leary when I started the marinade because of the yogurt but I shouldn't have been worried. The only things I did differently was to use half the chicken and 1/2 the marinade and to omit the jalapeno because my grocery store didn't have any. I made the full amount of sauce. I'm astounded that I made something that tasted so much like it does at a restaurant the first time out. Thanks so much!

Not sure why it's "tikki" rather than "tikka" but still, a very good recipe. I used chicken thighs, nonfat plain yogurt in place of whipping cream, didn't add any salt, and used ghee instead of butter. I also ground the coriander seeds fresh which I think made a big difference. It was a bit spicy for my wife but I absolutely loved it.

This was a huge hit! I used lite coconut milk and grilled the chicken in my George Forman Grill and it came out perfect. I will definently make again. It went together pretty fast because I marinated the meat overnight and had everything else premeasured. Thanks
