I had prepared these creamy tikkas few months back ,much before I started blogging.But since it tasted very tasty I thought of sharing it with you'll. Of course the picture is not great since I wasn't serious about photography then,used to randomly shoot pics.Will update the pics when I prepare it again.This tikka is ofcourse very high in calories with cheese,butter and cream.It is very tender and has a rich mughlai taste.I occasionally enjoy this dish in restaurants if it is charred and grilled well, since I'm more of a sea food lover,and I seldom eat chicken depending on my mood....Indulging this rich tikkas once in while is ok .Until then enjoy this delicious flavored tikkas.
