Chicken Tikka Dry

This is obviously any non-vegetarians favorite and I have seen many of them orders for it particularly in restaurants and never thought making would be very easy at home, yes believe me it’s very easy to make and tastes great, especially kids love it and mostly served with biriyani or a fried rice or a good choice would be with a soup as a starter.

There are different versions in preparing chicken tikka and I know actually its is called as Chicken Tikka Masala however I don’t want to call it as like that because my recipe is a dry one and doesn’t have any masala in it instead I made sauce for it and that too is not served separate as it is mixed with the chicken.
