Smokey, juicy and intensely flavorful. There is nothing like a good chicken tikka. Typically chicken tikka is cooked in a tandoor but if you don’t have a tandoor or a grill, you can still get that same smokey flavor using a technique called Dhungar Method.

You can easily do it at home with a piece of charcoal, ghee and a stainless steel bowl.

Marinate the chicken overnight for best results.
