What is the difference between chicken tikka and chicken kebab?
Chicken tikka refers to chunks of chicken that are marinated in spices and yogurt, then grilled or baked. It is often served without skewers. Chicken kebab, on the other hand, generally refers to ground or minced meat that is seasoned, formed onto skewers, and grilled. In our recipe, chicken tikka kebab combines elements of both, using marinated chicken pieces that are air-fried for a healthier option.

Air frying significantly reduces the amount of oil used compared to traditional frying methods, resulting in fewer calories and less fat. Using Laajawab Hot & Sweet Marinade Rub also means you don’t need any additional ingredients, keeping the recipe simple and healthy.
What is tikka vs tandoori?
“Tikka” refers to small pieces of meat that are marinated and then grilled or baked. “Tandoori” refers to a cooking method that uses a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven, to cook the meat at high temperatures. Tandoori dishes are typically marinated with yogurt and spices, similar to tikka, but the main difference lies in the cooking method. In our recipe, we air fry the chicken tikka kebabs for a healthier twist.
Is Indian chicken kebab healthy?
Indian chicken kebabs can be healthy, especially when prepared using methods like grilling, baking, or air frying. These methods reduce the need for excessive oil, making the dish lower in fat and calories. Our chicken tikka kebab recipe is particularly healthy because it uses an air fryer, which maintains the chicken’s nutritional value while providing a delicious, crispy texture.
Is kebab veg or non-veg?
Kebabs can be both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Non-vegetarian kebabs typically include meats like chicken, lamb etc. seasoned and cooked in various styles.
