Given that the primary flavor of this dish is the tikka - what paste brand are you using? I'm in the US, what should I look for?

Hi Linda, we use pastes from Gymkhana here, but you just need to check for a rich, aromatic scent and vibrant, natural colour (if possible). Hope that helps!

Please, "25 min cooking time" and "put away in fridge for 30 min" is very poor. Correct this.

I really dislike "25 min cooking time" and then adding a single step of "put in fridge for 30 min". Please, be honest about cooking time and prep time.

very popular with my wife and kids (6 and 8). easy to make and amazing variation in tastes and textures. only thing id say to be careful is that the recipe asks to season each element with salt and pepper so id not go too heavy handed on the salt.

Hey James! Thanks so much for giving this one a go, we're sorry to hear it didn't hit the mark for you. Was there anything in particular you didn't like? Or was it just the overall flavours?

Why aren’t there any actual measurements for this recipe? And where is the recipe for the rice?

Are the calories and nutrition right on this? 1072 calories seems very high

Loved this! What was left of the marinade we cooked and use as extra sauce. It was really straightforward and rather quick! Once I had the chicken marinating (had it in the fridge for a few hours), everything else was quick to put together. Will defo make this again.

Great recipe but I find it frustrating when I have to do mental calculations while cooking. I need to calculate 1/4 of the total lemons, then 1/3 of the remaining lemon, then 1/2 of the remaining lemon after that, then finally the remainder of the lemon. Surely there’s an easier way to write this!

Loved this recipe. I only used one onion and one lemon and thought it was enough. Could use less Greek yoghurt for the raita as well, but these amounts leave plenty for leftovers!

This was so good! Definitely revisiting it again. One onion was plenty though and I don’t know if i can get nigella seeds in Australia.

A winner in our house, we will make it again. Loved the nigella seeds in the tomato salad. Agree with someone else that calories seem off.

Be keen to have a recipe for making spiced rice and tikka paste, rather than using processed ready made bits in plastic.

Super super yummy! I served with homemade Indian spiced rice with raisins and roasted cashews instead of microwave rice and it was so good! Thank you xx

Hello. I don't have an air fryer. Any tips for the oven? Thank you.

Hi Emma. As a general rule, to convert from air fryer to oven you increase your cooking temperature by 25°C and increase your cooking time by 20%.
