Chicken and prawns

I cooked some chicken tikka and prawn pickle today using the finest fresh chicken and cooked frozen prawns from Lynas foods. 

For the prawn pickle, I fried off ginger, garlic, spring onions, fresh red Chillies, salt, pepper and achaar masala (achaar is pickle and I made the masala out of a number of different spices-trade secret!!!). I then added the frozen cooked prawns (400 g) and simmered. The pickle was then chilled and ready to eat!!

For the chicken tikka I marinaded two diced chicken breasts using tandoori masala last night. I only added masala to the chicken ie a dry rub. I refrigerated over night. The chicken was cooked for 20 minutes in a pre heated oven at 200C.
Note the red colour of the marinated chicken and the orange colour of the cooked chicken. This is a good indication that there is no artificial food colouring.

Now it's a case of enjoying!!
