Just a small tip for cooking in the tandoor, put a sacrificial half a potato wrapped in foil at the bottom of the skewer which protects the first chunk of chicken from getting burnt!
Hi Al, I got into curries through watching Misty Ricardo vids and now I'm going to get into yours. I'm a madras curry guy, 75 years young living just outside manchester. Most of Misty's recipes are for two people whereas l usually cook for three which means I have to use more base and chicken ( does additional extra base weaken the flavour?)I watched your gunpowder madras yesterday so that will be on the "to do" list. I usually put the chicken in raw as, doing tikka takes time and work ( I'm lazy). Enjoying your videos Al you have another recruit from the north west mate. Thanks again.
Having not had a good curry since the beginning of last year I stumbled across Al’s channel and decided to invest in all of the spices, etc. I made this chicken tikka recipe this morning in preparation for the gunpowder madras recipe this evening and it absolutely rocks! We don’t have a tandoor so used my Weber bullet and the results are stunning. Thanks for the content Al, looking forward to following some of your other recipes.
Not only does this look like a fabulous recipe it has already cheered up a miserable damp Tuesday morning in November seeing the summer sun and watching you cook in the garden and enjoying a beer from the summer past. I'm just going to get a pen and do the list of ingredients for this chicken tikka and the "new base gravy". Even considering a Tandoori oven purchase for the summer next year. Very Tidy work AL !!
Tip for getting meat off a skewer. Pull it up towards the handle slightly before you try to push it off the end. It breaks the seal and slides off easier..
Al. I've made 3 of your dishes so far...will Never go back to the recipe books .All dishes were amazing..loads more to try ..Thank You for your Channel 👍🍻
Great video Al. Loving the tutorials but I'm spending too much time watching them here and not enough time in the bleeding kitchen!! Keep it up mate and thanks again.
We live on the Island of Elba, in the Med. My husband Mario is absolutely blown away by your quality and detail to the Indian food. We just love inviting Italians for an Indian meal, they all just love everything we cook normally from your TH-cam videos. Just keep the recipes coming.
Hi, Al. That was another superb vid. I’ve lived in France for a few years now, I’ve pretty much given up on Indian restaurants here. I find that the flavour and spice has been subdued too much, due to catering to French tastes. Even when I ask them to bump it up a bit and point out that I’m not scared of flavour and heat, it’s still not there! I cook a lot, mainly classic French and European dishes in the kitchen, and BIR since I discovered you👍 I do a lot of smoking and slow cooking on the barbecue, too. In the past, I have travelled a lot, but my two favourite Indian restaurants are in West Wales, Mehfil’s in Pembroke and Barbucci’s in Tenby. As for France, the best place to eat Indian is chez moi, and all thanks to to you👍
I went around a friend's house last night he done 3 currys from your channel and I can honestly say they were the best I've had. I am now going to follow your channel and try re create dishes outstanding flavours what a great night we had.
We moved to France 2 years ago and we really have missed BIR.. Since discovering your channel Al we can now have BIR whenever we like :D Thank You so much
Great video! Always look forward to your new videos, any chance you could do a video of you cooking naan bread in your tandoori oven please. Would love to see it.👍
Outstanding Al, a little trick 11:15 place a potato at the bottom of the skewer, they'll take the full burn heat and leave the chicken nice and charred - love and pea's.
What a fabulous recipe and looks amazing! Im definitely going to be trying this for when my Daughter and Son in Law visit next week. Thanks Al your a superstar!
Hi Al, love this recipe and doing again tonight then cooking chilli garlic chicken tikka. Can I ask which model tandoor you have there? Thinking about ordering one for the summer
I love the relaxed atmosphere of your videos. Even if i am not planning on making some of the recipes, just by watching the movie I feel somehow better :D Thanks!
Absolutely outstanding Al 👌 I would highly recommend this to everyone! I cooked this today together with your lemon rice and it was delicious. "Chapeau" to you sir from France.
Loved the video, your videos are so cool you have got me into making cooking videos here, just made a rhubarb crumble which was amazing, thanks for everything you do, you inspired me to do it! 😀👍😀👍
Space Life Cooking & Gardening Advice. Grow channel slowly. Your can only do these videos once and got may waste them on to few viewers. 1 a week is plenty.
Nice recipe AL! Al what's the difference between using tomato puree and chopped tomatoes in a curry compared to just chopped tomatoes? What do you mean by richness being added by the puree?
Hi Al, I’ve made a batch of chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka garlic chilli to freeze and take away this weekend with the family. They both turned out amazing! Delicious! The chicken tikka is a fantastic flavour. I did it under the grill and basted with ghee with every turn… beautiful charred flavour 😋 😋 Can’t wait for the family to try them. Thank you for the recipes! ❤️❤️
I just love your cooking videos, Al I'm living in Bradford West Yorkshire, but came from the midlands Wolverhampton, we used to love a good Balti in Birmingham, I'm going to make your base gravy asap, thanks for your information and great videos 👍
Al thanks for the videos. Just made our first base2 last night and are going to make Chicken Tika Masala tomorrow. Cheers from San Diego CA. My friend turned us on to you and Misty.. Keep those videos coming please.
Getting geared up to start cooking some curries at home thanks to your inspiring videos. Just ordered a load of spices and a cooking pan. May be a silly question but is it possible to cook a load of base gravy and chicken tikka and then freeze it and use when required? Will that work?
Will definitely be giving this a go. How do you think it would fare on a bbq as most takeaways use this? Also do you have a recipe for mushroom pilau rice BIR quality with the red and green bits? TIA.
The food colouring doesn't affect after its marinated ? Love the videos you've cost me a fortune in Indian cooking utensils etc but I'm loving cooking the curries , can I ask if your recipes are for 1 do you just times the spices x4 if it's for 4 people and so on ?
Can the salt and the lemon cause a bad texture if they're left too long? Seen a few recipes warning against leaving lemon and salt marinades too long as they acid cook the meat? Have you had a problem with this in the past? Thanks very much!! Love the videos!
I'm in the Philippines and trying this recipe using Calamansi instead of lemon juice, gonna go the full 48hrs with the marinade then bbq very hot. I will let you know. Here in the Philippines Indian cuisine is non-existent so I really appreciate your videos.
I've never cooked anything I've seen on Al's kitchen, just like I've never cooked anything I've seen from Floyd, Stein or any other TV chef. I just love the videos and the personality.
@@AlsKitchen maybe one day I'll invest in making a base gravy and the spices and give your recipes a go. I live near a Pakistani community and if you know where to go the food is so cheap and nothing like BIR but so delicious. We can have an evening meal for a tenner a head.
Hi Al, made this the other day. The best I’ve had so far. I’m thinking of making up a batch of powder ready for adding as and when I need it to save time. Well done!
Great vid Al, my favourite curry garlic chilli chicken, I live in Birmingham and my fav restaurant is The Shaban, Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield. Keep up the good work !
Dave I am from Birmingham too and yes I got to agree with your chosen curry and curry house.The place has been servingserving top top quality curries and
Hi Al. Would you use the same marinade for lamb tikka. And could I marinade the chicken and lamb then freeze them uncooked in the marinade. Cheers. Simon.
It has a while since i have watched you, but i am catching up now. Looks like you have a new kitchen to work in , anyway love your tandor, great to see you again , i do enjoy your cooking style, thanks
Have you tried a Vacuum marinador , put in the chicken, pump out the air. 1 min in there equals approx 1 hr normal, so half an hour and you’re good to go👍🏻 I cook in a home made tandoor, 2 big clay plant pots in a bustbin, gets to over 500°c👍🏻
Looks great Al, can't wait to give this one a try. Just a quick question.. what was the quantity of orange food colouring that you used and how much water do you mix it with please?
Hello Al, this video looked so good that I had to go and buy a tandoor, so I got the SS1 Ultima from Puri, which was delivered a few days ago. (They're on offer at the moment folks!) Before I can try this recipe, I'll need to oil the tandoor and run a 1st light up to help 'run it in'. If my tikka comes out anywhere near as good as yours looks well I'll be over the moon, as will the rest of the family as they love the recipes verily much. Keep up the Stirling work young Sir!
I was a chef for 25 years and find your BIR style cooking a great inspiration to budding cooks during the lockdown. If you made it any simpler you would be using Lego and Duplo bricks as an ingredient.BIR cooking is quite a standardised cooking process, so once you make a few dishes you become more confident in your culinary skills. So for anyone out there scared to touch a frying pan then give these recipes a try. Sourcing ingredients over this lockdown period is quite hard, especially if you are not city-bound. Finding ingredients online can help but never compromise on brands as you will definitely tell the difference in your finished product.Al keep up the great work with producing quality content. Out of curiosity when you make dishes to feed the 5 thousand do you freeze them down for yourself or do you have welcoming neighbours more than happy to oblige with taste testing? Again thanks for the uploads, stay safe.
Thanks for the comment. Thats the idea behind the videos. To make as simple as possible. Love it when people try the recipes and enjoy them as well as improve their cooking skills.
I didn't really fancy adding honey to this... BUT then I thought.... 'Have I EVER had a crap meal from Al's Kitchen?' Well the answer was,a resounding NO, so I made it EXACTLY to the recipe. Bloody Hell, Al!!! I have never tasted such a delicious chicken tikka IN MY LIFE. I have frozen three quarters of it ready for the 30 minute Madras later this week. We can't wait 😁😁😁
Hi Al, another great video, got to be a Chicken Jalfrezi for me although i do love a chicken saag from time to time too. Living in Oz now and the curry shops are a bit different to those in Blighty. When i lived over there fav place was Munals in Worcester Park or Samrat in Putney. Oh i miss London Pride!
Looks amazing 😋😋,nice garden though.Answers to your questions Love all curries Eat them at home as I make them From Pakistan,British citizen 👍 Lovely video as usual,take care xx
I'm new to home cooking BIR curries Al, but last weekend I cooked your Chicken Chasni. My wife said it's the best curry that I've ever made and I've cooked a lot of them over the years. I felt very pleased and slightly hurt at the same time! ;)
Hi Al great vids, i`m checking out the tandoori ovens and they look the biz. I would only cook for 2-6 people what size is yours and what size would you reccomend, thanks
Love the tandoor it looks really nice on the patio as well as being functional - I tried to make my own tandoor with terracotta flower pots but it was a bit of a disaster. ☹️ Chicken Tikka looks amazing !!
Hi Al, great video. Curious to know what were the cooking times for the tandoor oven vs domestic grill? Would also be interesting to see a taste and time comparison between tandoor oven and a flat charcoal bbq.
I noted on the video that Al turned the grill on at 14:00pm, put the skewer in at 14:18pm and took it out 14:27pm. Like you Steve, I would be interested in the Tandoor time, though Al did suggest it cooked quicker on a higher heat.
I spotted this reply from Al towards the bottom of the comments Hi. I use 2 ready to light charcoal bags. The temperature reached 350c with lid open and 400c + with lid closed. The chicken took 10 mins to cook and the chicken was placed higher up the skewer to avoid burning bottom pieces. You can also place a potato or onion at the bottom to avoid burning, Does this answer you questions?
Ingredients:
1 tbsp garlic/ginger paste
1/2 lemon
150g natural yogurt
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
1 tsp paprika powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
2 tsp kasuri methi
1 1/2 tsp dried mint
1 1/2 tsp salt
Orange food colouring (TRS brand)
3 1/2 tbsp tandoori masala powder
2 tbsp honey
A splash of vegetable oil
1.5 kg diced chicken breast
Hero! Lost my written down list and was scrolling through hoping someone had done this. Steve you're a gent!
Thanks for doing this!
do you think dried mint could be substituted for mint sauce?
@@mehere3013 very late to reply, but that’s exactly what I do.
How many does this serve please?
Just a small tip for cooking in the tandoor, put a sacrificial half a potato wrapped in foil at the bottom of the skewer which protects the first chunk of chicken from getting burnt!
Good call.
“Sacrificial half potato” 😆 good tip!
I like it👍👍👍
What did the poor potato do to you? :)
I use a sacrificial (mashed) potato when I’m cooking daal and want a slightly thicker consistency, works a treat

...and you need to turn that grill up literally as far as it will go.

No. Same amount for the marinade. Just put less chicken in it.
Thanks mate 👍

Love the tandoor it looks really nice on the patio as well as being functional - I tried to make my own tandoor with terracotta flower pots but it was a bit of a disaster. ☹️ Chicken Tikka looks amazing !!
Hi Al, great video. Curious to know what were the cooking times for the tandoor oven vs domestic grill? Would also be interesting to see a taste and time comparison between tandoor oven and a flat charcoal bbq.
I noted on the video that Al turned the grill on at 14:00pm, put the skewer in at 14:18pm and took it out 14:27pm. Like you Steve, I would be interested in the Tandoor time, though Al did suggest it cooked quicker on a higher heat.
I spotted this reply from Al towards the bottom of the comments
Hi. I use 2 ready to light charcoal bags. The temperature reached 350c with lid open and 400c + with lid closed. The chicken took 10 mins to cook and the chicken was placed higher up the skewer to avoid burning bottom pieces. You can also place a potato or onion at the bottom to avoid burning, Does this answer you questions?
Just made a batch. It's excellent as expected.
Love your Videos especially of you having a Slurp of Beer…Reminds me of Keith Floyd!!
