These chicken tikka bites pair deliciously with Indian inspired dishes. Laid on a bed of coriander-garlic yoghurt and drizzled with mango chutney, they are subtly spicy, sweet and fragrant. 'Tikka' in India refers to small pieces of marinated meat or paneer. While chicken tikka is rooted in Indian cuisine, tikka masala is thought to have been an invention of South Asian chefs in the UK.
