Do you like Indian foods? We love them! Spicy and tasty is the way to go 😉
When we feel like a complete meal, we would go to Indian restaurant instead though so we don’t have to slave ourselves in the kitchen lazy LOL
Yes, you will find chicken tikka that is orange, brownish, and mine is reddish/orangish 😀 It’s all depending what you add into your marinade. Some add turmeric, some don’t. Some add food coloring, some avoid it. So adjust to your liking, please!
