Thecha Chicken Tikka represents the bold and rustic flavors of rural Maharashtra and is a featured highlight
within our signature Tiger Thali. This authentic dish begins with tender, boneless chicken pieces marinated
in a traditional thecha paste - a fiery green condiment made from fresh green chilies, garlic, ginger,
roasted peanuts, and traditional Maharashtrian spices. The chicken is then skewered and cooked in our
tandoor at high temperatures, resulting in perfectly charred exteriors and succulent, flavorful interiors.
What sets our Thecha Chicken Tikka apart is the authentic preparation of the thecha marinade, which requires
grinding the ingredients to the perfect coarse texture that allows the bold flavors to penetrate the chicken
completely. The result is a tikka that's intensely flavorful with a perfect balance of heat, smokiness, and
the nutty richness of roasted peanuts. As a centerpiece of our Tiger Thali, this dish perfectly represents
our commitment to bringing authentic regional Maharashtrian cuisine to Calgary, offering a taste that's both
traditional and unforgettable.
