"These tikka bites are especially welcome in the summer. Thrown straight onto the barbecue or grill/broiler, they are ready in minutes. The lime leaves give a delightful floral fragrance to the dish. NOTE: The marinating time for the chicken is not included in the prep. time."

Step by Step Method

Make sure to pre-soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.


Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch chunks.

Step 2

Thread a piece of chicken onto a soaked wooden skewer, then a lime leaf and another piece of chicken. Take another wooden skewer and repeat until you have used up all of the chicken. Place the skewers in a large shallow bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Place the chopped ginger and garlic, coconut oil, lime zest and juice, curry powder, chili powder, paprika and the cilantro leaves in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the curry sauce over the prepared chicken skewers, coating the meat. Cover and set in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 - 4 hours.

Step 5

Light the outdoor grill or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers directly on the heat or in the grill pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Serve with lime wedges and Garlic and Mango Madras Relish.

Wonderful! I skipped the lime leaves and used the vegetable oil option but otherwise made as directed using the stove and grill pan option. Served with tossed salad and boiled summer squash for a simple but good dinner. Thanks for sharing!

First, let me say that I like but don't usually love Indian food. This recipe really surprised me! I tucked it away into my Best of 2019 file. The flavors are absolutely delicious together and so beautifully layered. The mango salsa is outstanding! I served the chicken and mango salsa over brown rice and loved every bite. Notes: it was a busy week and I had forgotten to buy the lime leaves. I also forgot that it had to marinate for a few hours - so mine only marinated for about 20 minutes. All was still okay - in fact, excellent! Thank you!
