Cooking Method:

• First, come with the tandoori marination process. take Big marination bowl to add all the marination ingredients which are mentioned up only in the tandoori marination list, now mix them well until all the spices are mixed properly with chicken pieces.
  
  
  

• Now if you do not have a tandoor oven please don't worried about the tandoori flavor. You can add it by a trick. Now I will tell you the trick where you can get the tandoori smells in the chicken pieces.

• Take a small steel bowl place it over the middle of the chicken marination. Now put one piece of flaming hot charcoal into that small bowl, then put 1 tbsp of ghee or butter over hot charcoal, you can see smokes comes out from that charcoal now suddenly cover the chicken marination by the airtight lid to store the smoke into the marination bowl now set aside for 3 hours for good flavor and taste. (More you keep the marination, the better taste & flavor will come).

• After proper marination, you have to sear the marinated chicken pieces over a nonstick Tawa or pan. After searing all the chicken pieces keep aside the tandoori chicken pieces for later use.
  
  
  

• Your chicken tikka is ready now come on to the gravy part.

• Take a sauté pan add refined oil heat up for few seconds, now add whole cumin and temper for few seconds.

• Then add chopped onions to the pan and sauté until softened. 

• Now add ginger & garlic paste to sautéd onions and keep sautéing for 5 to 6 minutes.

• Now add fresh tomato puree to the pan and again keep sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until water dries a little bit.
  
  
  

• After gravy dries out add coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili, garam masala powder, and salt to the pan and sautés for 6 to 8 minutes until the raw smells of spices goes away. Now add hot water to the pan masala and stir to well mixed with hot water.
