Chicken Kebab (Malai Tikka)

One of the great things about our pastes is that they make really tasty marinades. This is a really simple marinade, combining the piquant spices of our Tikka Masala paste with cream, yoghurt and herbs. It makes for some truly tasty chicken kebabs, that's for sure. Serve them up as an appetiser - or with a green salad as a light main meal.
