How to Make Tikka Marinade

  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the marinade to 4 servings (approximately 1.5 lbs) of your chosen protein (chicken, pork, or prawns) in a glass bowl or resealable bag.
  4. Ensure the protein is fully coated in the marinade.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor infusion.
  6. Grill, bake, or pan-fry the marinated protein until cooked through. Serve immediately with basmati rice and your favorite sides.
