About Leg tikka

Leg Tikka is a popular dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly celebrated in Indian and Pakistani culinary traditions. Crafted using bone-in chicken legs, it features a rich marinade of yogurt, spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, along with garlic, ginger, and a splash of lemon juice for tanginess. The marinated chicken is traditionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) or grilled, giving it a smoky, charred flavor. High in protein, Leg Tikka provides essential nutrients and energy, making it a satisfying option for those seeking a hearty meal. The use of spices offers antioxidant benefits, while grilling helps reduce excess fat. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium or saturated fats if paired with heavy sauces or excess oils. Enjoy Leg Tikka with fresh salads or whole-grain sides for a balanced, flavorful meal.
