Chicken Tikka is a flavorful and popular dish from Indian cuisine, featuring marinated chicken cooked in a tandoor or grilled for a smoky char. The chicken is typically marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and an array of spices including turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garam masala, lending it its vibrant color and rich taste. High in protein, chicken tikka is a nutritious option that supports muscle health and satiety. When prepared with minimal oil, it can be relatively low in calories and fat. However, the accompanying creamy sauces or heavy use of oils in some variations can increase its calorie and fat content, so portion control is important. Paired with fresh vegetables or whole-grain sides, it becomes a balanced meal, highlighting the health-conscious potential of this traditional Indian dish.
