Lamb Tikka Masala, It’s tender, hot and kick’in spicy!

I’m a lamb person, can’t believe that i’ve missed a month without any lamb dish. The last lamb dish that i’ve had is lamb curry with roti canai (pratha bread) in indian restaurant. Today’s project is grilled lamb with homemade tikka masala. Make sure that you’ve using a thick youghurt to the paste. No need to add tenderizer since yoghurt had lactic acid that can break the meat collagen protein and turned into a very tender piece of meat. You can marinade the lamb meat or chicken in the tikka masala paste for about 6 hours prior to overnight and no more than that because the meat will  dry off while grilling. i use lamb loin for this recipe, but you can use chicken or even goat to this recipe.

Spicy Yoghurt Dip with Chilli, Onion, Tomato, Basil and Turmeric Flower/Blossoms

Indian Flat Bread with Turmeric Flower/Blossom

I like to serve lamb or other gamey meat with someting refreshing relish or dipping sauce. Since i had left over youghurt from making a tikka masala, i turned it into nice and creamy dippind sauce with spicy and kicking taste. Nothing better than aromatic basil, chilli and turmeric flower. i brought this turmeric flower the day before, and chopped just before serving. Turmeric flower or blossom is usually eaten raw here as lalapan as accompanion for sambal in indonesia. Turmeric blossom had a greeny white color with mild scent of turmeric and had a tangy spicy and sour aftertaste. Another thing i like from turmeric blossom is the texture is crunchy while it still fresh. Besides the yoghurt dip, i serve the tikka masala lamb loin with indian flat bread. You can wrap the lamb tikka masala with indian flat bread and dipped into the spicy yoghurt sauce before eat it out.
