Tikka Pasta

 Ingredients: -2 tablespoons coriander seeds -2 tablespoons cumin -2 tablespoons garlic flakes (garlic powder) -2 teaspoons chili powder -5 teaspoons turmeric -1 tablespoon dried mint -1 teaspoon salt -1 teaspoon lemon juice -150 ml white wine vinegar -150 ml oil

To prepare a delicious and aromatic marinade, we start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. It is important to ensure that we have fresh spices available, as they will significantly influence the final taste of the dish. In a large bowl, carefully mix all the dry ingredients, such as salt, pepper, sweet paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, and any other preferred spices like cumin or ground coriander. Once you have achieved a uniform mixture, it's time to pass everything through the electric grinder to obtain a fine powder. If you don't have a grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices as well as possible.

After obtaining a well-ground composition, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and white wine vinegar. These two ingredients will not only enhance the flavors but will also help tenderize the chicken meat, providing that marinade with a perfect balance between acidity and flavor. Mix everything with a spatula until a homogeneous paste forms.

In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Olive oil or another vegetable oil with a high smoke point is recommended. Once the oil is heated, add the spice mixture and let it cook for about 10 minutes. It is essential to stir constantly to prevent the spices from burning. This process will allow the flavors to develop and combine, and the marinade will begin to thicken, becoming a rich and appetizing paste.

After you finish cooking the mixture, let it cool completely. Once cooled, the marinade is ready to be used. It is perfect for applying to pieces of chicken meat, whether it is chicken breast, thighs, or wings. Let the meat marinate for at least one hour or, ideally, overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate well. This marinade will transform any chicken dish into a culinary delight, full of flavor and color. Enjoy the final result!
