Homonym: Tikka (Dot)
Tikka is a popular dish in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India and Pakistan. It typically consists of marinated pieces of meat, such as chicken, lamb, or beef, that are skewered and grilled or baked. The marinade often includes yogurt and a blend of spices, giving the meat a rich flavor and tender texture.
Tikka can be served as an appetizer or main course and is often accompanied by naan or rice. One well-known variation is Chicken Tikka Masala, where the grilled meat is cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. Tikka is enjoyed for its savory taste and is a staple in many restaurants and homes.
