Now that Navratras are over, and we can enjoy meats and eggs again, I have a fantastic and easy Chicken Tikka recipe to share with you. This recipe is perfect for beginners in the kitchen or those who are new to the Keto lifestyle. The preparation is simple, and the cooking process is even simpler.

All you need is an electric tandoor, a grill, or even a microwave with a convection and grill option will work just fine. And if you don’t have any of these, a heavy-bottomed pan will do the trick.

The Chicken Tikka turns out incredibly tender, bursting with flavors, and can be enjoyed any time of the day. It’s also a great option to pack for work or enjoy as a quick snack. You can savor the tikka on its own or pair it with a refreshing mint chutney for an extra kick.
