my first tikka dish

One thing I like about the Lodge pro-logic skillets, with sloped sides, is that I can cook small portions of Asian dishes, without having to haul out my wok.

Tonight I made my first tikka, which is an Indian dish. It's normally cooked in a tandoor, which is an Indian oven that heats up to 1000 degrees.

Or you can cook it in a cast iron pan.

Mix the following in a bowl:

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp olive oil

ginger

cumin

cinnamon

black pepper

chili powder

ground cloves

nutmeg

Then marinate your shrimp or chicken in the fridge. I used shrimp.

Heat your cast iron pan on high heat, then stir fry the mixture until the meat is cooked.

Serve over rice.
