At House of Kabila, we celebrate the spirit of Indian culinary artistry by offering Tandoori Tikka that stays true to its roots. Here, we take you on a journey into what makes Tandoori Tikka so special and why it’s a must-try on your next visit.
A Tradition Steeped in History
Tandoori Tikka traces its origins back to the kitchens of the Mughal emperors. It was the Indian clay oven, known as the tandoor, that transformed meat into an experience—infused with smoky flavors, marinated in vibrant spices, and cooked to perfection. The dish has since transcended regions, becoming a beloved choice for food enthusiasts worldwide.
The Art of Marination
The heart of any good Tandoori Tikka lies in its marinade. At House of Kabila, our chefs blend yogurt with a mix of Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and a touch of chili powder. The addition of fresh ginger, garlic, and lemon juice enhances the flavors, tenderizing the meat and allowing it to absorb the spices fully. This meticulous marination process is what gives our Tandoori Tikka its signature taste.
Tandoor Magic: Where Science Meets Flavor
Cooking in a tandoor oven requires a level of expertise that our chefs have mastered. The high heat of the tandoor ensures that the meat stays juicy inside while achieving a beautiful char on the outside. This gives the Tandoori Tikka its unique smoky flavor and slightly crispy texture that diners adore.
Variants to Suit Every Palate
At House of Kabila, we believe in catering to diverse tastes, which is why we offer different versions of Tandoori Tikka. For the meat lovers, we serve tender chicken and lamb tikka, each with its unique blend of spices. For our vegetarian guests, we have delicious paneer tikka—chunks of soft cottage cheese marinated and cooked to perfection in the tandoor. Our chefs pay close attention to preserving the authenticity and flavor profile in each variant.
A Perfectly Paired Experience
Tandoori Tikka is a versatile dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Enjoy it with fresh mint chutney, a cool raita, or fluffy naan bread, and experience how these accompaniments balance the heat and flavors of the tikka. For a truly indulgent experience, we recommend pairing it with a glass of lassi or a classic Indian drink from our menu.
