Cooking Skills

Grilling versus oven-baking

Even though traditional cooked Shahid Tikiya is served on hot grills to give it a unique taste, you can still obtain tasty results by employing other strategies.

Grilling

1. Get the Grill Ready: Heat the grill to medium-high temperature. This is not an issue if you are using the charcoal grill but wait until the coals have white ash covering them.

2. Fix the Meat in Skewers: Place the marinated meat on the skewers and insert them in the grill. Make sure that there is space between the pieces to enable proper cooking.

3. Grill: The chopsticks should be placed on the grill allowing five to ten seconds of cooking on each side until done.

Baking in an Oven

If you do not own a grill you can make use of your oven in the following way:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting the oven temperature at 400°F (200°C).

2. Line a Baking Tray: The use of parchment paper or aluminum foil is highly recommended to keep the house tidy.

3. Skewer and Oven: Place the prepared skewers on the baking sheet and put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes while rotating the skewers halfway through. Last 2-3 minutes, turn on the broiler to get a nice crispy finish.

Using a Stove Top Grill Pan

For people who do not have access to an outdoor grill, a stove top grill pan is an excellent option. It is simply a matter of heating the grill pan and applying a small amount of oil before following the griller procedures above.

Servings

Accompaniments

Usually, Shahid Tikkia comes with different additional items to help create its good taste:

Naan or Roti: These are soft Indian breads that are ideal for wrapping around the meat.

Rice: Basmatirice and nasi would be perfect biryani accompaniments.

Salad: After this dish, a basic salad of cucumber and onions would help with cooling down the heat.

Chutneys: Meat tends to be rich in flavor thus a mint or tamarind make a good chutney to serve.

Presentation

For those who do not eat meat, cubed paneer can be used. Please marinade and cook the same way, though the paneer must be seared slightly to achieve flavor.

3. Tandoori Tikkia

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACHIEVING SET GOALS

1. Spend Enough Time in the Marinade: Many cooks do not see the need to allow for long periods of marination. However, this is important as far as taste and tenderness are concerned.

2. Heat Up the Grill or Oven: Never cook on an unheated grill or oven if that is supposed to produce a good sear.

3. Bring a Meat Thermometer: Use one for more reliability, mostly when it comes to chicken and lamb, and check the meat's internal temperature to confirm doneness.

4. Play around with Tastes: Adjust spices according to your choice and also fresh herbs or marinades and that should not scare you, so try.

5. Repetition is the Mother of Skills: This is just like any other skilled art, the more you do it the better you become. That does not mean the first one will be the last one, go on improving your skills until you can do it well.
