Shan Chicken Tikka Masala 50g

About This Chicken Tikka Masala

Shan Chicken Tikka Masala is a premium spice blend crafted to recreate the authentic taste of traditional chicken tikka — one of the most iconic dishes in Mughalai and Pakistani cuisine. Known for its smoky, tandoor-style flavour, vibrant colour, and aromatic spice depth, chicken tikka demands a precise balance of spices that this blend delivers consistently.

Made from natural ingredients, the masala is formulated to marinate chicken thoroughly, allowing the spices to penetrate deeply before grilling or roasting. The result is tender, well-seasoned chicken with the characteristic colour and aroma of a properly made tikka. Trusted by home cooks seeking authentic flavour without the complexity of building a spice mix from scratch, Shan Chicken Tikka Masala is a reliable, convenient choice for everyday cooking and special occasions alike.

Flavor & Spice Profile

Shan Chicken Tikka Masala delivers a bold, smoky flavour with warm heat, earthy spice notes, and a rich, deep red colour that is characteristic of authentic tikka. The blend carries aromatic undertones of cumin, coriander, and warming whole spices, producing a well-rounded marinade that caramelises beautifully during grilling or roasting for an authentic charred finish.

Culinary Uses

Shan Chicken Tikka Masala is primarily used as a marinade for grilled, roasted, or pan-cooked chicken tikka. Mix the masala with yoghurt, oil, and lemon juice, coat the chicken pieces thoroughly, and marinate for a minimum of 2–4 hours before cooking. It is equally suited for baking in an oven, cooking on a stovetop grill pan, or preparing on an outdoor barbecue. The blend also works well for tikka-style paneer, prawns, and mixed vegetable skewers as a versatile marinade base.

Benefits

Shan Chicken Tikka Masala removes the need to individually source and balance the multiple spices required for an authentic tikka marinade. Its natural ingredient formulation ensures clean, genuine flavour without artificial aftertaste. The pre-measured 50g sachet provides consistent results every time, whether cooking for a family meal or entertaining guests. Suitable for grilling, roasting, and pan cooking, it offers flexibility across different cooking methods while always delivering the bold, smoky character of traditional chicken tikka.
