Tikka Totally Explained

Everything about Tikka totally explained

Tikka or Teeka is the English transliteration for two entirely distinct South Asian/Indian words: tikka with a soft initial 't' and tikka with a hard initial 't'. This often causes some confusion as to which 'tikka' is meant. Tikka with a soft initial 't' means a piece of meat, such as a cutlet.

The popular dish chicken tikka is made of chicken cutlets in marinade. A westernised version, chicken tikka masala, is a widely popular dish in the United Kingdom.
The marinade used in the preparation of chicken tikka can also be called tikka. It is made from a mixture of aromatic spices and dahi (the Indian word for plain yoghurt).

Tikka pronounced with a hard 't' can mean a forehead mark or a needle.

South Asian men and women sometimes wear a mark on the forehead, a dot, smudge, or lines of red, black, or ash-grey. The woman's mark is most often called a bindi. It can be worn as a decoration, by women of any religion, or as a Hindu religious observance. The mark worn by some Hindu men is called a tikka. The most common tikka is red powder applied with the thumb, in an upward stroke. Tikka can also be a name.
