About Tikka

Tikka is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, traditionally made by marinating chunks of meat, often chicken, in a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, then roasting or grilling to perfection. The marinade typically includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and chili, giving it a rich and aromatic profile. Packed with protein, chicken tikka is a nutritious choice, especially when prepared with skinless chicken. The addition of yogurt not only tenderizes the meat but also provides probiotics and calcium. However, the dish's healthiness depends on preparation; versions cooked with excess oil or cream-based sauces increase calorie and fat content. When complemented with whole grains like rice or served alongside vegetables, tikka can be part of a balanced meal. Vegetarian variations, using paneer or vegetables, are equally popular and healthy, maintaining the dish’s vibrant flavor and satisfying texture.
