Description

Shahi Murg Tikka brings royal flavors to the classic Indian chicken tikka. The word “Shahi” means “royal,” and this dish lives up to its name with a rich, creamy marinade made from yogurt, cream, cashew or almond paste, aromatic spices, and a touch of saffron or cardamom. The chicken is tenderized and deeply flavored through marination, then grilled or tandoor-cooked until lightly charred outside and juicy inside.

Unlike the spicy and bold traditional tikka, Shahi Murg Tikka is milder, creamier, and subtly sweet — a favorite among those who enjoy rich and aromatic Mughlai cuisine. It’s often served at special occasions and weddings, garnished with slivered nuts and fresh herbs, and accompanied by mint chutney or saffron-infused rice.
